Abstract: Objectives This paper analyzed the reasons for author’s revision of the manuscript asked by the editorial board before published in order to promote author’s writing skills and to provide suggestions for higher academic quality of medical papers on journals. Methods We reviewed and summarized the suggestions to authors for manuscript revision during the editing period from Aug. 2015 to Jul. 2016 before published on Chinese Journal of Blood Purification. Results The main reasons for revision by authors during the editing period were ①big abstract and the conclusion drawn without objective bases, ②no Chinese and English full name for English abbreviation when it first appears, ③ inappropriate description of statistical methods, ④charts and tables only for reiteration of text content and without self-clarity, and ⑤informal format for references. Conclusion Higher quality of the medical manuscript is a key issue to speed up editing process cycle and publication period. The authors should be familiar with the formats of medical thesis, abstract, chart, table and references, and the description of statistical method.
