Checklist for Reporting Results Using Observational Descriptive Studies as Research Designs: The MInCir Initiative

Observational and descriptive studies (ODS) represent between 70 % and 80 % of the designs utilized in biomedical publications of the different scientific journals. Despite this, there are no tools to guide writers and to assist reviewers in reporting results with this type of research design. The a...
