They not only offer the possibility of verification but also instill a kind of discipline of higher performance. > > —Atul Gawande1 Unless research is properly reported, the work of investigators, subjects, and editors is ultimately wasted. And yet the ongoing problem of poor scientific reporting of research continues to be documented almost on a monthly basis,2,3 and this fact remains a major source of concern for the scientific community and public. Indeed, poor scientific reporting is thought to be a critical factor in the current crisis of irreproducibility described across multiple disciplines.4 In the medical fields, this problem has been long known and insufficiently tackled.5 A recent blog post by Doug Altman recalled a Lancet article from the 1970s that reported assignment of a cohort to treatments as being “more or less randomly allocated”.6 This clearly confusing and unhelpful phrase triggered Dr Altman’s crusading interest in improving the rigor of scientific reporting, such as his role in establishing the Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR) Network. This network collects and supplies researchers with >300 guidelines and extensions like the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials), PRISMA, STROBE, and RECORD.7 All were designed to improve scientific reporting across study designs ranging from clinical trials to secondary data analyses … |
