How is Transparency Achieved in Epidemiological Studies?
Achieving transparency involves several practices, including:
Open Access Publication: Making research articles freely available to the public. Data Sharing: Providing access to raw data for verification and further analysis. Pre-registration of Studies: Registering study protocols before data collection to prevent selective reporting. Detailed Methodology: Clearly describing research methods, including data collection, analysis, and statistical techniques. Conflict of Interest Disclosure: Publicly disclosing any potential conflicts of interest.
