Start a checklist
- Project → Reporting checklist: choose the manuscript and the guideline that matches the study design. Thirty-five checklists are grouped by family — randomised trials (CONSORT 2010 and its AI, pilot, cluster, pragmatic and non-inferiority extensions, CENT, SPIRIT, SPIRIT-AI), observational and diagnostic (STROBE, STROBE-MR, STARD, TRIPOD, TRIPOD-AI, PROBAST-AI), reviews (PRISMA 2020, PRISMA-S, ScR, LSR, NMA, IPD, MOOSE, SANRA), case reports (CARE, CARE abstract, PROCESS), qualitative and implementation (COREQ, SRQR, GRAMMS, StaRI, SQUIRE), economics, animals and guidelines (CHEERS 2022, ARRIVE 2.0, RIGHT).
- A manuscript can carry several checklists (a base guideline plus an extension); each appears as a tab with its completion.
Attest each item
- For every item choose Reported, Partly reported, Not reported or N/A, and record where it is (section, page, line) and any note. Changes save as you type.
- The progress bar counts addressed items over applicable ones (N/A items are excluded); the checklist is complete when nothing remains Not reported. Filter to Still open to work through what is left, or mark the remaining items as reported once you have checked them.
Export and the automated checks
- Export CSV produces the completed table (item, status, location, notes) to attach to the submission.
- Automated checks — required sections, journal limits, house style, citation integrity — run in the editor's Checks panel; the checklist is the human attestation that journals ask for alongside them.
