The EQUATOR (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency of health Research) Network is \u201can international initiative that seeks to improve the reliability and value of published health research literature by promoting transparent and accurate reporting and wider use of robust reporting guidelines\u201d. The main goals of EQUATOR Network are the development, dissemination, and implementation of robust reporting guidelines and to actively promote the use of high-quality reporting guidelines and good research reporting practices. Medicus journal, in its publishing philosophy and editorial policy, adheres to transparent, complete, and accurate reporting and the use of reporting guidelines developed by EQUATOR Network.<\/p>

For original research articles, clinical case studies and short research reports, Medicus Journal strongly recommends the authors to adhere to and implement the appropriate reporting guideline of Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research. Editable checklists for reporting guidelines can be found on the EQUATOR Network site www.equator-network.org<\/a> , which also gives general information on how to choose the correct guideline and why guidelines are important. Using a checklist helps to ensure that the guideline has been used correctly.<\/p>

We strongly recommend that authors te include a checklist, which you can download using the links below, within their submitted materials, to indicate if it describes a randomized trial (CONSORT), an observational study (STROBE), Systematic reviews (PRISMA), diagnostic\/prognostic study (STARD), Case reports (CARE), or Clinical practice guidelines (AGREE). On the EQUATOR Network website, you can find guidelines for all the major study types:<\/p>
