[Do German articles in medical journals require a"guide to anglicisms"?].

Effective communication of scientific results depends on conceptually clear and precise language, especially with regards to the use of discipline-specific terminology. German scientific language might be more comprehensible if the overuse of anglicisms is avoided. As an example commonly used anglicisms in ten clinical studies published in Der Nervenarzt were selected, listed according to the field of application and evaluated. Adequate German terms are offered for them showing that it is possible to use German terms for most issues and facts.
