Reducing Research Waste Through Good Reporting Practices

Reducing Research Waste Through Good Reporting Practices

Roughly 85% of healthcare research funding may be wasted due to several avoidable reasons, including poor research question selection, poor study design, selective nonpublication, and poor reporting.1 The cost of waste worldwide was estimated at 200 billion United States dollars in 2010.1 All actors in the research field—researchers, institutions, regulators, funders, publishers, and policy mak...

Good reporting practices and the CONSORT.

Cada vez mais têm sido dada atenção às boas práticas de redação e sua utilidade em artigos científicos. Ensaios clínicos aleatorizados, quando concebidos, conduzidos e relatados de forma apropriada, representam o padrão ouro na avaliação de tratamentos médicos. Entretanto, os ensaios clínicos podem produzir resultados enviesados se não houver rigor metodológico. Para avaliar criteriosamente uma...

Good Practices for Reproducible Research

Multi-core architectures comprising several GPUs have become mainstream in the eld of High-Performance Computing. However, obtaining the maximum performance of such heterogeneous machines is challenging as it requires to carefully o oad computations and manage data movements between the di erent processing units. The most promising and successful approaches so far rely on task-based runtimes th...

Good Laboratory Practices Are Not Synonymous with Good Scientific Practices, Accurate Reporting, or Valid Data

Biomedical research: increasing value, reducing waste.

www.thelancet.com Vol 383 January 11, 2014 101 Of 1575 reports about cancer prognostic markers pub lished in 2005, 1509 (96%) detailed at least one signifi cant prognostic variable. However, few identifi ed biomarkers have been confi rmed by subsequent research and few have entered routine clinical practice. This pattern—initially promising fi ndings not leading to improvements in health care—h...
