Reporting Guidelines
Reporting guidelines are tools for transparent and accurate reporting of research results. Researchers can use them as guides as they write their papers to ensure that they are including all the relevant background and methodological information that others would need to understand their work. You can find reporting guidelines for all kinds of research at the EQUATOR network.
- Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ): a 32-item checklist for interviews and focus groupsThe criteria included in COREQ, a 32-item checklist, can help researchers to report important aspects of the research team, study methods, context of the study, findings, analysis and interpretations.
- Standards for reporting qualitative research: a synthesis of recommendationsThe SRQR aims to improve the transparency of all aspects of qualitative research by providing clear standards for reporting qualitative research. These standards will assist authors during manuscript preparation, editors and reviewers in evaluating a manuscript for potential publication, and readers when critically appraising, applying, and synthesizing study findings.
