Randomized clinical trials, Systematic reviews, Meta-analyses, observational studies in epidemiology and Qualitative studies

RLAE supports the initiative of the ICMJE and the EQUATOR Network to improve the presentation of research results and, therefore, adopts the use of international guidelines that advise the authors in the preparation of manuscripts reporting on randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, observational studies in epidemiology and qualitative studies. The international guidelines consist of checklists and flow charts published in the international declarations CONSORT (randomized clinical trials), PRISMA (systematic reviews and meta-analyses), STROBE (observational studies in epidemiology) and COREQ (qualitative studies) and their use in the preparation of the manuscript can enhance the publication potential and, after its publication, increase the use of the reference in further research.
 
  • Randomized clinical trials, Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses: use the checklists and flow charts to prepare the manuscript, complete and forward them during the submission process.
 
  • Observational studies in epidemiology and Qualitative studies: use the checklists and flow charts to prepare the manuscript, do not complete nor forward them during the submission process.
