The purpose of research is to seek answers and new knowledge. When conducted properly and systematically, research adds to humanity's corpus of knowledge and hence to our general advancement. However, this is only possible if reported research is accurate and transparent. Guidelines for all the major types of studies (STROBE, CONSORT, PRISMA, MOOSE, STARD, and SPIRIT) have been developed and refined over the years, and their inception, development, and application are briefly discussed in this paper. Indeed, there are currently over 250 of these guidelines for various types of medical research, and these are published by the EQUATOR network. This paper will also briefly review progress in acceptance and adoption of these guidelines.
研究的目的是寻求答案和新知识。当研究以恰当且系统的方式进行时,它会丰富人类的知识宝库,从而推动我们的整体进步。然而,只有当所报告的研究准确且透明时,这才有可能实现。多年来,针对所有主要类型的研究(STROBE、CONSORT、PRISMA、MOOSE、STARD 和 SPIRIT)制定并完善了相关指南,本文将简要讨论这些指南的起源、发展及应用。事实上,目前针对各类医学研究的此类指南有250多种,它们由EQUATOR网络发布。本文还将简要回顾这些指南在接受和采用方面的进展情况。
