"Written by the original guideline authors, the book essentially presents and summarizes the various research reporting guidelines developed over the years in an effort to promote best practices in research reporting." (Springer Nature, 2016)

"In Guidelines for Reporting Health
Research: A User?s Manual, the book?s editors, in
association with the EQUATOR (Enhancing the
QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research)
network (www.equator-network.org) and over
60 individual contributors, present a collection
of respected and commonly used guidelines for
reporting health research, with the purpose of
increasing the clarity, completeness, and
transparency of reported research. This book is
aimed at a range of professions and roles within
the medical and academic fields, including
authors, editors, peer reviewers, and funders.
From a medical writing perspective, it provides
some fundamental background knowledge on
the necessity, generation and application of guidelines for
publishing research...

Overall this book provides a valuable resource
for authors, editors, peer reviewers, and funders
to ensure the appropriate guidelines are chosen
and correctly applied. I would highly recommend
it to any medical writer looking to broaden their
knowledge of how best to report health research.(Medical Writing, Dec 2016)
