Applying Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines is useful for structuring personnel, data reporting, quality management, and ensuring clear lines of responsibilities and hierarchy.
In addition, contrary to the assertions of Myers et al. (2009), systematic analyses of clinical research have found no consistent association between funding source and data reporting quality among top journals (e.g., Kaiser et al. 2011).
Other groups have similarly noted that the conflation of quality of reporting and quality of data is problematic [ 25].
The website contained the original papers, the evidence synthesis reports (data extraction and quality assessment reports of systematic reviews), draft best practice recommendations and draft algorithm statements.
Site psychometricians conducting the assessments will be blinded to group allocation and will receive training by a member of the coordinating center staff regarding appropriate administration of all measures, scoring and data reporting to ensure data quality.
The head of facility (CEO/medical superintendent), chief gynecologist/obstetrician, matron, head of ICT department, and chief accountant provided information on structural data of the hospitals, the managements' view on data quality, reporting, and data usage at the study sites.
The SOPs specify communication channels and procedures linking each level for the referral of laboratory specimens, reporting of data, supervision and quality assurance activities.
Guidance for risk assessment review sets requirements for methodology reporting and data availability and quality that helps bridge the GLP/peer-review chasm (OMB 2007).
The chance-corrected agreement (kappa = 0.898) between the reviewers was very high for study selection, although the same was not reported for data extraction and quality assessment.
