Publishing articles is not for the impact factor itself, but the impact of scientific research articles is what really matters. Regarding the significance of medical scientific research work, one author is quoted as saying that the duty of a doctor is to treat diseases and save people. , it can disseminate good research results more widely – not only can it treat its own patients, but also more patients suffering from similar diseases around the world.
