Apologies to those in the intersection of psci-com and Stempra who are receiving this twice. It came in via the mailing list for clinical librarians and highlights the EQUATOR network, and its recent newsletter. I'm slightly horrified to have to admit that I'd never heard of it (for shame) as it looks like exactly the sort of thing I might want to know about. "Too often, good research evidence is undermined by poor quality reporting. The EQUATOR Network is an international initiative that seeks to improve reliability and value of medical research literature by promoting transparent and accurate reporting of research studies."
