医学期刊中部分拉丁语的规范编排

拉丁语与医学关系密切,大部分医学术语主要源自拉丁语。一些编辑对拉丁语在医学中的应用了解甚少,例如:不清楚拉丁学名的命名原则,导致对其在医学期刊中的大小写、正斜体不分；此外,还会犯语法方面的错误,如将拉丁名词的单复数混淆,等等。因此,本文对拉丁语在医学中的应用及其在医学期刊中常见的错误作一简述。

Application and editorial standardization of Latin in medical periodicals

Medicine is closely related to Latin, from which most English medical terminologies are derived. However, a number of editors know little about the application of Latin in medicine, for example, the binominal system for organisms in Lain, which results in mistakes in medical periodicals editing. In addition, some editors also make grammatical mistakes, e.g., confusing the singular and plural forms of Latin nouns. This paper aims to provide a brief overview of the application of Latin in medical periodicals and its editorial standardization.
