JMV contributed to the research design, methodology, fieldwork, and paper write-up.
As also concluded by other systematic reviews included in this review, it was difficult to compare the various methodologies and papers to draw firm conclusions as to the effectiveness of A. vera in this context.
RMD contributed with the work's proposition and implementation, the experiments' execution and methodology, and the paper's writing.
An LDO was designed using this methodology and the paper provides a direct comparison between the expected (simulated) results and measurements performed on the silicon implementation.
After local piloting, we distributed the questionnaire using mixed methodologies (online and paper) across all Stroke Managed Clinical Networks in Scotland.
Our results showed that among the methodology and application papers, 133 (87.5%) and 115 (82%) did not report the directionality of the tests (one-sided or two-sided test) respectively.
Table 3 presents additional 23 positive examples summarized from other methodology and review papers [ 26- 29].
Explicit statements of hypothesis and alternative hypothesis were reported in only 43 (28%) and 29 (20.6%) methodology and application papers respectively.
Table 2 shows the reporting of normalisation and description of normalisation techniques for methodology and application papers.
Our findings show that only 45 (15.4%) methodology and application papers explicitly discussed issues relating missing values, e.g. sources and estimation methods.
