OBJECTIVE: Assess endorsement and requirement of RGs, and the stance on clinical trial and systematic review registration in family medicine journals, impacting research quality and transparency.
METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis of 43 \"Family Practice\" journals, identified through the 2021 Scopus CiteScore. Editors-in-Chief were contacted to confirm article types. Data extracted from \"instructions to authors\" pages focused on RG recommendations, requirements, and trial registration.
METHODS: To ensure confidentiality and prevent bias, authors independently extracted data on RG utilisation, adherence, and clinical trial registration provide a overview of research standards.
RESULTS: Of 43 journals, the most recommended guidelines were CONSORT (69%), PRISMA (58%), and STROBE (60%). The most required were PRISMA (16%) and CONSORT (11%). Clinical trial registration was recommended or required by 67% of journals. Additionally, 40 out of the 43 (93%) journals cited at least one reporting guideline in their instructions to authors.
CONCLUSIONS: Family medicine journals exhibit varied endorsement and requirement patterns for RGs and clinical trial registration. While guidelines like CONSORT, PRISMA, and STROBE are acknowledged, caution is needed in presuming a direct link to enhanced research quality. A nuanced approach, promoting diverse reporting guidelines and rigorous study registration, is essential for elevating transparency and advancing research standards in family medicine.
目标:评估RGs的认可和要求,以及家庭医学期刊对临床试验和系统评价注册的立场,影响研究质量和透明度。
方法:对43种“家庭实践”期刊的横截面分析,通过2021年ScopusCiteScore确定。已联系总编辑以确认文章类型。从“给作者的说明”页面中提取的数据侧重于RG建议,requirements,和试用登记。
方法:为了确保机密性并防止偏见,作者独立提取了RG利用率的数据,坚持,和临床试验注册提供了研究标准的概述。
结果:在43个期刊中,最推荐的指南是CONSORT(69%),PRISMA(58%),和STROBE(60%)。最需要的是PRISMA(16%)和CONSORT(11%)。67%的期刊推荐或要求进行临床试验注册。此外,43种期刊中有40种(93%)在给作者的说明中引用了至少一种报告指南。
结论:家庭医学期刊对RGs和临床试验注册具有不同的认可和要求模式。虽然像CONSORT这样的准则,PRISMA,和STROBE被承认,在假定与提高研究质量有直接联系时需要谨慎。细致入微的方法,促进多样化的报告准则和严格的研究登记,对于提高家庭医学的透明度和推进研究标准至关重要。
