Researchers can adopt several practices to ensure their reporting is transparent:
Adhere to Reporting Guidelines: Follow established guidelines such as CONSORT for clinical trials or PRISMA for systematic reviews. Pre-register Studies: Register the study protocol and analysis plan in public databases before conducting the research. Use Open Access Platforms: Publish findings in open-access journals to make the research accessible to a broader audience. Share Data Publicly: Provide access to datasets in public repositories to enable scrutiny and secondary analysis. Engage Stakeholders: Involve patients, clinicians, and other stakeholders in the research process to enhance relevance and transparency.
