Document Summary
Reporting standards provide a degree of comprehensiveness in the information that is routinely included in reports of empirical investigations. The motivation for the development of reporting standards has come from within the disciplines of the behavioural, social, educational, and medical sciences. Uniform reporting standards make it easier to generalize across fields, to more fully understand the implications of individual studies, and to allow techniques of meta-analysis to proceed more efficiently. Reporting standards are based on the research design and implementation of the study being reported, not on the up-to-date focus of the study or the particular journal that might serve as the vehicle for its publication. A title should summarize the main idea of the manuscript simply and with style. It should be a concise statement of the main topic and should identify the variables or theoretical issues under investigation and the relationship between them. A title should be fully explanatory when standing alone.
