“Reporting statistical aspects of health research” – Research Integrity & Ethics 2023

Session outline

In this session, we will discuss how to clearly report methods and statistical analyses of health research studies, to enhance interpretation and reliability of scientific articles. We will focus on some aspects that are often poorly reported in the medical literature, as well as some reasons for reviewers to reject a paper or recommend major revision.
