In most journals, there are letters or answers sections. Letters to the editor are usually a type of short communication that can be written on any topic that attracts the attention of the readers. Although articles are stringently vetted before publication in a journal, some issues can still go unnoticed. In this situation, readers can offer their interpretations by writing a letter to the editor. Thus, letters are also a control mechanism that facilitates progress after an article has been published. One of the most important aspects of a letter to the editor is that it must be short. It is known that a letter is more easily accessible to readers when the message is short and brief. The letter to the editor or author must make reference to objectives or discussions on medical, scientific or general topics that may attract attention. A letter must have a purpose, and it should convey its message in a short and definitive fashion.
在大多数期刊中,都设有读者来信或答疑板块。给编辑的信通常是一种简短的交流形式,可以就任何引起读者关注的话题撰写。尽管文章在期刊发表前会经过严格审核,但仍可能有一些问题被忽视。在这种情况下,读者可以通过给编辑写信来发表自己的见解。因此,读者来信也是一种促进文章发表后学术进步的管控机制。给编辑的信最重要的一点是必须简短。众所周知,当信息简短明了时,读者更容易阅读来信。给编辑或作者的信必须提及可能引人关注的医学、科学或一般性话题的目标或讨论内容。一封信必须有明确目的,并且应以简短而确切的方式传达其信息。
