EQUATOR Network collates resources for good research

The first 100% of the full text of this article appears below.

The new BMJ section on how to do and write up research will help to produce more reliable health research literature.1 The EQUATOR Network, a new international initiative, also promotes clear, accurate, and transparent reporting of health research.2

The EQUATOR website (www.equator-network.org/) pulls together available reporting guidelines, making them easy to find and use, and also refers to other resources, training courses, and meetings concerned with reporting health research. It is a valuable source for anyone interested in improving the quality of scientific publications.
