Item Bank for the creation of the PRIVAT study appraisal tool (dataset)

To support the development of appraisal tools for assessing the quality of in vitro studies, we developed a method for literature-based discovery of study assessment criteria, used the method to create an item bank of assessment criteria of potential relevance to in vitro studies, and analyzed the item bank to discern and critique current approaches for appraisal of in vitro studies. The item bank is part of the method for creating the PRIVAT appraisal tool for supporting comprehensive and transparent peer-review of in vitro studies. There is a backup of this dataset on the Open Science Framework (here), which is a legacy set of files that provide supplemental materials for the item bank manuscript (Whaley et al. 2024).
