AbstractAn editorial article is a type of scholarly communication providing expert views and critical analysis of issues. It may reflect the view of the author(s) or of the organization/journal on a certain topic. An editorial may also comment on a published paper. Editorials are expected to be objective, evidence-based, and informative focusing attention on recent developments and matters of current societal/disciplinary concern. This format allows for timely dissemination of expert insight and facilitates ongoing scholarly discourse. The structure of editorials varies: critical, explanatory, and commendatory types serve varied purposes. Authors of editorials should follow certain principles of academic writing. The aim should be provided in an introductory paragraph. Thereafter, a constructive and balanced critique of the index article and/or a detailed yet concise analyze of the subject of matter should be provided. The conclusion paragraph should include brief take-home messages. Critical arguing should be supported by relevant references. A declaration of any potential conflicts of interests is essential to maintain objectivity and fairness. The current article aims to provide a primer, along with a checklist, on writing editorials.© 2024 The Korean Academy of Medical Sciences.
