Clinical Reporting Standards Policy

Reporting Standards

JNRPSP requires all authors to adhere to established international reporting standards appropriate to their study design. Authors must indicate compliance with the relevant guideline and, where applicable, provide the completed checklist as a supplementary file at submission.

• Randomised Controlled Trials: CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) — www.consort-statement.org
• Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses: PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) — www.prisma-statement.org
• Observational Studies: STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology) — www.strobe-statement.org
• Case Reports: CARE (Case Report) Guidelines — www.care-statement.org
• Qualitative Research: COREQ (Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research)
• Animal Research: ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments) Guidelines

For all manuscripts, authors must include a statement confirming the applicable reporting standard has been followed. Manuscripts that do not adhere to these standards may be returned to authors for revision prior to peer review.
