Abstract To gain insight into changes of scholarly journals’ recommendations, we conducted a systematic review studies that analysed Instructions to Authors (ItAs). We summarised results 153 studies, and meta-analysed how often ItAs addressed: 1) authorship, 2) conflicts interest, 3) data sharing, 4) ethics approval, 5) funding disclosure, 6) International Committee Medical Journal Editors’ Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts. For each topic found large between-study heterogeneity. Here,...
Calls have been made for improving transparency in conducting and reporting research, work climates, preventing detrimental research practices. To assess attitudes practices regarding these topics, we sent a survey to authors, reviewers, editors. We received 3,659 (4.9%) responses out of 74,749 delivered emails. found no significant differences between authors’, reviewers’, editors’ towards or their perceptions climates. Undeserved authorship was perceived by all groups as the most prevalent...
Dissemination of research findings is central to integrity and promoting discussion new knowledge its potential for translation into practice policy. We investigated the frequency format dissemination trial participants patient groups.Survey authors clinical trials indexed in PubMed 2014-2015.Questionnaire emailed 19 321 authors; 3127 responses received (16%). Of these trials, 2690 had human 1818 enrolled individual patients. Among 1818, 498 (27%) reported having disseminated results...

In light of increasing calls for transparent reporting research and prevention detrimental practices, we conducted a cross-sectional machine-assisted analysis representative sample scientific journals' instructions to authors (ItAs) across all disciplines. We investigated addressing 19 topics related transparency in integrity. Only three were addressed more than one third ItAs: conflicts interest, plagiarism, the type peer review journal employs. Health Life Sciences journals, journals...
Abstract An antenatal/postnatal intervention involving proactive telephone support and written materials was conducted among primiparas. Four hundred women, from the Split‐Dalmatia County, Croatia, were randomized between November 2013 December 2016 into three groups: (IG), active control (ACG) standard care (SCG). Primary outcome exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) at 3 months. Secondary outcomes included difficulties, attitudes towards infant feeding, self‐efficacy social support. Practice staff...
Background Reviewers rarely comment on the same aspects of a manuscript, making it difficult to properly assess manuscripts’ quality and peer review process. The goal this pilot study was evaluate structured implementation by: 1) exploring whether how reviewers answered questions, 2) analysing reviewer agreement, 3) comparing that agreement before review, 4) further enhancing piloted set questions. Methods Structured consisting nine questions in August 2022 220 Elsevier journals. We randomly...
AimTo assess attitudes of students and their parents toward basic life support (BLS) training in primary schools, along with perceptions students' fears applying BLS.MethodsIn October 2011, a specifically designed, voluntary anonymous questionnaire was distributed to 7th 8th grade two schools Split, Croatia. Completed questionnaires were analyzed determine the validity scale, sex group differences individual items whole scale.ResultsThe completed by 301 school children 361 parents....
Qualitative research findings are increasingly used to inform decision-making. Research has indicated that not all quantitative on the effects of interventions is disseminated or published. The extent which qualitative researchers also systematically underreport fail publish certain types findings, and impact this may have, received little attention.A survey was delivered online gather data regarding non-dissemination dissemination bias in research. We invited relevant stakeholders through...
Abstract Background Published studies in the life and health sciences often employ sample sizes that are too small to detect realistic effect sizes. This shortcoming increases rate of false positives negatives, giving rise a potentially misleading scientific record. To address this shortcoming, many researchers now use point-and-click software run size calculations. Objective We aimed (1) estimate how published articles report using G*Power calculation software; (2) assess whether these...
Background: Public information on US clinical trials is shared through the ClinicalTrials.gov registry. This study's goal was to determine prospective registration, results reporting, trial registration number and publication accessibility status for with primary completion dates from 2014 2017 affiliated seven California universities. Methods: We identified investigators, sponsors, or responsible parties universities searched their publications manually. then used semi-automatic methods...

Attitudes towards open peer review, data and use of preprints influence scientists’ engagement with those practices. Yet there is a lack validated questionnaires that measure these attitudes. The goal our study was to construct validate such questionnaire it assess attitudes Croatian scientists. We first developed 21-item called Open sharing , preprinting peer-review (ATOPP), which had reliable four-factor structure, measured data, preprint servers, in small scientific communities. then used...
Scientific journals may counter the misuse, misreporting, and misinterpretation of statistics by providing guidance to authors. We described nature prevalence statistical at 15 (top-ranked Impact Factor) in each 22 scientific disciplines across five high-level domains (N = 330 journals). The frequency varied (Health & Life Sciences: 122/165 journals, 74%; Multidisciplinary: 9/15 60%; Social 8/30 27%; Physical 21/90 23%; Formal 0/30 0%). In one discipline (Clinical Medicine), was provided all...
Preprints have been increasingly used in biomedical science, and a key feature of many platforms is public commenting. The content these comments, however, has not well studied, it unclear whether they resemble those found journal peer review.To describe the comments on bioRxiv medRxiv preprint platforms.In this cross-sectional study, preprints posted 2020 were accessed through each platform's application programming interface March 29, 2021, random sample containing between 1 20 was...
