Improving transparency in publishing: gaps in standardised reporting across surgical pathology and laboratory medicine journals
Reporting checklists were suboptimally mentioned and rarely required. Even with many basic and diagnostic science reporting checklists and initiatives, endorsement remains low. We recommend that authors, reviewers and editors become familiar with relevant reporting checklists for their fields and publishing spaces to improve checklist visibility and adherence for scientific transparency, reproducibility and rigour.
