Pattern differentiation in Chinese research

[Guest guest]

For those of you who read Chinese. I was wondering if the standards

for the pattern differentiation used in Chinese research is included

in the text of the article. I have never seen it included in the

translations and was wondering if this was a problem of ommision on

the translator's part. One Chinese colleague told me that it is

usually included in the Chinese articles.

Thanks

Rich,

 

It may or may not be included in the original Chinese. Several years

ago, it was less likely to be included. However, the Chinese have

wised up in terms of Western research standards. So nowadays, the

criteria for the Western medical diagnosis and Chinese medical pattern

discrimination is usually given, along with citations for the written

standards being used. To me, this is a definite leap forward, and,

usually I include these standards and citations in my translations.
