Description¶

Beyond listing what to report, the brief models a concrete activity: applying the five checklists to an actual report. The authors state that "the brief includes an example of parts of a report's methods and results section illustrating how the checklists can be used to check the completeness of reporting." Researchers can use this worked example as a template for auditing their own drafts.
