Poorly reported research can potentially lead to misleading conclusions. This can result in inappropriate application of research findings and future research direction. For this reason, reporting guidelines are used by scientific writers and medical peer reviewers to ensure that the relevant information is published. This paper will introduce the reporting guidelines of qualitative studies, quality improvement projects, observational studies, randomised controlled trials and meta‐analyses.
