  21. Commentary: Advancing completeness and transparency of reporting

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Reporting guidelines are increasingly used by journals to remind authors about important criteria needed to evaluate scientific papers. The Reporting Guidelines for Randomized Controlled Trials for Livestock and Food Safety (REFLECT; https://meridian.cvm.iastate.edu/reflect/; O'Connor et al., 2010) was published in 2010 to provide guidance to authors on minimum reporting standards in designed experimental studies using livestock.

    • Invited review: Completeness of reporting of experiments: REFLECTing on a year of animal trials in the . By Winder et al., page 4759. Reproducibility in science requires comprehensive and accurate reporting of study design, conduct, and analysis. This observational study examined the prevalence of reporting of the 18 objective items in the Reporting Guidelines for Randomized Control Trials in Livestock and Food Safety (REFLECT) in trials published in the in 2017.
