<p>This chart lists the major biomedical research reporting guidelines that provide advice for reporting research methods and findings. They usually "specify a minimum set of items required for a clear and transparent account of what was done and what was found in a research study, reflecting, in particular, issues that might introduce bias into the research" (Adapted from the <a href="https://www.equator-network.org/">EQUATOR Network Resource Centre</a>). The chart also includes editorial style guides for writing research reports or other publications.</p>
