Study reporting guidelines : how valid are they?

Arundel, Catherine; James, Sophie; Northgraves, Matthew; Booth, Alison

Abstract

Reporting guidelines help improve the reporting of specific study designs, and clear guidance on the best approaches for developing guidelines is available. The methodological strength, or validation of guidelines is however unclear. This article explores what validation of reporting guidelines might involve, and whether this has been conducted for key reporting guidelines.
