FAIRsharing record for: Statistical Analyses and Methods in the Published Literature Guidelines

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Statistical Analyses and Methods in the Published Literature (SAMPL) Guidelines are a set of statistical reporting guidelines suitable for medical journals to include in their Instructions for Authors. These guidelines tell authors, journal editors, and reviewers how to report basic statistical methods and results. Although these guidelines are limited to the most common statistical analyses, they are nevertheless sufficient to prevent most of the reporting deficiencies routinely found in scientific articles; they may also help to prevent some reporting errors by focusing attention on key points in the analyses.
