How I can improve reporting of my research study
Find out about reporting requirements early, when planning your research study
When writing up your research, check the EQUATOR website for any new relevant guidelines to help improve the quality of your manuscript
Adhere to the relevant reporting guideline(s)

How I can improve reporting of my research study
When not reporting on certain items explain why
Remember that reporting guidelines provide a minimum set of items– Other details specific to your particular study
(consider in particular items that might have introduced bias into your research)
It is important to provide enough information to allow your study to be potentially reproducible by others.
