临床医学期刊在健康科普中的作用

随着泛在网络时代的到来,新媒体已成为人们获取健康知识的首要途径；但当前网络健康知识来源芜杂,各种夸大甚至歪曲医学事实的报道层出不穷,健康科普的“含金量”亟须提高。临床医学期刊是权威医学成果发布和交流的重要平台,拥有由作者、审者和编者等众多优秀医学专业工作者组成的专家团队,具有天然的健康科普优势和媒体属性。《协和医学杂志》通过将医学论文科普化、捕捉新闻热点、培养科普人才、充分利用新媒体平台等途径,证明临床医学期刊有责任更有能力在健康科普中发挥重要作用。

Role of clinical medicine journals in health knowledge popularization

With the advent of the ubiquitous network era, new media has become the primary way for people to acquire health knowledge, but the sources of health knowledge on network are miscellaneous, and all kinds of reports that exaggerate or even distort medical facts emerge in endlessly. So we think the content of health knowledge popularization needs to be improved urgently. Journals of clinical medicine are important platforms for the publication and exchange of authoritative medical achievements, which have a team of experts composed of many excellent clinicians, such as authors, reviewers, and editors. Owning a natural advantage in popularizing authoritative health knowledge, we think our practice is a good evidence to demonstrate that journals of clinical medicine have more responsibility to play important roles in health knowledge popularization in new media era by popularizing the present medical papers, as well as capturing the news hot spot, cultivating the clinicians, and utilizing the new media platforms.
