SERNA Checklist SC08 v1.0 — Stress Biomarker Research (SC-SBR)

# SERNA Checklist SC08 v1.0 — Stress Biomarker Research (SC-SBR) **Author:** Juan Moisés de la Serna
**ORCID:** https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8401-8018
**Affiliation:** **Field:** Neuroscience **Description:** The SC-SBR is a 20-item standardized reporting and methodological guide for stress biomarker research in applied contexts. It addresses critical physiological aspects such as circadian rhythm control, lifestyle confounder disclosure (e.g., caffeine, sleep), and the technical precision of biomarker assays. The checklist is designed to enhance the transparency and biological validity of stress research in real-world settings (work, school, sports), ensuring that physiological signals are reported with both technical and contextual rigor. **Files included:**
- `SC08_full_paper.md`: Full academic paper with theoretical background and development method.
- `SC08_onepage_checklist.md`: Print-optimized table for rapid assessment and implementation.
- `SC08_comparison_table.md`: Comparison of SC-SBR with existing psychophysiology standards.
- `CITATION.cff`: Citation metadata for researchers using the checklist.
- `keywords.txt`: Field-specific terms for indexing and citation tracking. **How to cite:**
