Importance in Medical Research[edit | edit source]

In medical research, references are vital for several reasons:

1. Validation of Information: References provide the evidence needed to support the claims made in a research paper. Reference 1, being the first citation, often supports the foundational premise of the study.

2. Credibility: The use of reputable sources as Reference 1 enhances the credibility of the research. It shows that the authors have engaged with existing literature and are building upon established knowledge.

3. Traceability: References allow readers to trace the origin of information, enabling them to verify data and conclusions. Reference 1 is typically a key source that readers may consult first.
