IN BRIEF

Manuscript, yet to be published document prepared by the researcher. Eachmanuscript should have a precise methodology and results. Poor reporting orlack of descriptions in medical literature gives the incomplete illusion about thestudy to the researchers and replication of these data in the systematic study

may be affected. The irreparably unethical and plagued content was thedeficiency, which leads to incorrect interpretation.

INTRODUCTION Enhancing the Quality and Transparency Of health Research(EQUATOR) is an international initiative network that gives acomplete list of guideline for reporting of the research publication,which also improves the quality of research.

This guideline used for preparing quality research reporting as itrequires the manuscript to meet the complete version of the checklist.

The Peer reviewer was instructed about the checklist followed forassessing the document.

There were almost 37 reporting guidelines.

PRISMATill 2005, the QUOROM (QUality Of Reporting Of Meta-analyses) statement used asanticipating criteria for reporting the systematic review.

The changes in practical advance in the systematic review leads to the development ofconsistent guideline called PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews andMeta-analyses).

This guideline follows the checklist updated by the researchers and reporters.

The flow diagram used to interpret the findings helps in improving the transparency of thesystematic review.

CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) was implemented first in 1996 forreporting randomised controlled trials.

Further, this reporting guideline underwent two revisions in 2001 and 2010 to stop inappropriatereporting of trials.

The accumulated knowledge of existing studies paves its way for the revision of this guideline.

This guideline follows the checklist consists of 25-items.

CONSORT

STROBE

STROBE (STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology)was the guideline followed to report observational study.

The observational study includes cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies.

This guideline was established in 2004, which follows 22 item checklist was laterdeveloped into STREGA (STrengthening the REporting of Genetic Associationstudies) which is used for analytical epidemiology and association of genome.

MOOSE

MOOSE (Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) is a 35 itemchecklist designed for reporting observational epidemiological meta-analysis.

It was developed in 1997.

This guideline gives the better understanding of the meta-analysis to the futureresearchers.

STARD (STAndards for the Reporting of Diagnostic accuracy studies) guidelineused to report diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of the study.

The guideline assembled using 25 item checklist.

The flow diagram which we use in STARD, clarifies the details of patientrecruitment involved in the study.

STARD

A team of investigators developed SPIRIT(Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations forInterventional Trials) to clarify the reporting of therandomised trial protocol in 2007.

This guideline elaborates the outcome of the trialand allocation of methods for treatment whichreduced the poor and inadequate trial report.

SPIRIT

REMARK

REMARK (Reporting Recommendations for Tumor Marker PrognosticStudies) exhibits the correlation between the marker and standardprognostic variable in Oncology and Genetic studies.

The deficiency of these studies will addressed by 20 itemised checklistframed for the study.

COREQ

COREQ (Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research) developed forenhancing the quality of reporting Qualitative research studies using 32itemised checklists.

It favours the researcher in reporting the context of their study, studymethodology and interpretation of the research study to the research team.

This guideline simplifies the complexity in the fields like healthcare policy andhealthcare provider.

CARE (consensus-based clinical case reporting) was case report guidelinewhich implements the precise supporting to magnify the accuracy andusefulness of case report.

It follows 13 itemised checklist, which was finalised based on the maincomponent of case reports like title, and patient’s clinical information andoutcome of the treatment.

CARE

Following reporting guideline, reporting qualitywill get improved

In high impact the journal will publish only thearticles which are strictly adhering to theguideline only get published

Helps the reviewer to check all essentialinformation has been reported.

ADVANTAGESOF REPORTINGGUIDELINES

CONCLUSION

Publishing the research in high impact journals was the key output of the researcher.

Based on the guideline, the importance and methodology of the study should beaccessed by the researcher to get involved in high impact research.

It also improves the transparency and accuracy of the reports.

As a futuristic context, these guidelines should revised constantly for improving thequality of research which appraise the researcher and their research.
