Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This chapter suggests the points that journals should consider in devising a reporting standards policy. It also considers the potential barriers to the successful implementation of such a policy. The ideas presented in this chapter are drawn from the author's experience of launching a reporting guideline adherence policy at a mid‐sized, international, medical journal: Headache: the Journal of Head and Face Pain. The chapter describes the eight steps toward implementing a reporting standards policy. The eight steps includes: identifying the needs of your journal, select “champions” to support and promote improving reporting standards, identifying appropriate checklists, level of enforcement: mandatory use or recommended consultation of guidelines, phased or complete launch of reporting policy, reporting standards policy approval, preparation for launch, and launch. The use of research reporting guidelines is becoming common, at least among the prestigious biomedical journals.
