Why keywords for journal paper?
When I took my medical research paper to a journal in order to get it published, they asked me to include keywords which would make it accessible all over. But what sort of keywords? How and where will I get them? Please suggest me guys.

Many journals ask for keywords, especially e-journals. Keywords should be directly linked to the ideas and concept of your paper. It would help the users to refine search and find your article in that journal easily.

Keywords are used for indexing purpose. Since, it’s your medical paper; you can take ideas from Medical Sub Headings (MeSH). It is sort of dictionary of medical terms controlled by U.S. National Library of Medicine.
