Sound knowledge of the key principles of reporting various types of health research is crucial for researchers and professionals involved in the publication of medical research. The consequences of non-publication or selective reporting of research findings are far reaching and impact on future science and most of all on patients’ care.
By documenting the most common shortcomings in the health research literature, this webinar will help you to understand why accurate reporting is an ethical imperative and an essential component of good research practice.

Clinical Evidence is an online evidence-based medicine resource from the BMJ Publishing Group. It is an international source of the best available evidence on the effects of common clinical interventions.
