3. INBRIEF Manuscript, yet to be published document prepared by the researcher. Each manuscript should have a precise methodology and results. Poor reporting or lack of descriptions in medical literature gives the incomplete illusionaboutthe study to the researchers and replication of these data in the systematic study may be affected. The irreparably unethical and plagued content was the deficiency, which leads to incorrectinterpretation.

4. Enhancing the Quality and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR) is an international initiative network that gives a complete list of guideline for reporting of the research publication, which also improves the quality ofresearch. INTRODUCTION This guideline used for preparing qualityresearch reporting as it requires the manuscript to meet the complete version of thechecklist. The Peer reviewer was instructed about the checklist followed for assessing thedocument. There were almost 37 reportingguidelines.

5. PRISMA Till 2005, the QUOROM (QUalityOf Reporting Of Meta-analyses) statement used as anticipating criteria for reporting the systematicreview. The changes in practical advance in the systematic review leads to the development of consistent guideline called PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviewsand Meta-analyses). This guideline follows the checklist updated by the researchers andreporters. The flow diagram used to interpret the findings helps in improving the transparency ofthe systematicreview.

6. CONSORT CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) was implemented first in 1996for reporting randomised controlled trials. Further, this reporting guideline underwent two revisions in 2001 and 2010 to stopinappropriate reporting oftrials. The accumulated knowledge of existing studies paves its way for the revision of thisguideline. This guideline follows the checklist consists of25-items.

7. STROBE STROBE (STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies inEpidemiology) was the guideline followed to report observationalstudy. The observational study includes cohort, case-control, and cross-sectionalstudies. This guideline was established in 2004, which follows 22 item checklist waslater developed into STREGA (STrengthening the REporting of Genetic Association studies) which is used for analytical epidemiology and association ofgenome.

8. MOOSE MOOSE (Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) is a 35 item checklist designed for reporting observational epidemiologicalmeta-analysis. It was developed in1997. This guideline gives the better understanding of the meta-analysis to the future researchers.

9. STARD STARD (STAndards for the Reporting of Diagnostic accuracystudies) guideline used to report diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of thestudy. The guideline assembled using 25 itemchecklist. The flow diagram which we use in STARD, clarifies the details of patient recruitment involved in thestudy.

10. A team of investigators developed SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials) to clarify the reporting of the randomised trial protocol in2007. SPIRIT This guideline elaborates the outcome of the trial and allocation of methods for treatment which reduced the poor and inadequate trialreport.

11. REMARK REMARK (Reporting Recommendations for Tumor MarkerPrognostic Studies) exhibits the correlation between the marker and standard prognostic variable in Oncology and Geneticstudies. The deficiency of these studies will addressed by 20 itemisedchecklist framed for thestudy.

12. COREQ COREQ (Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research) developed for enhancing the quality of reporting Qualitative research studies using 32 itemisedchecklists. It favours the researcher in reporting the context of their study, study methodology and interpretation of the research study to the researchteam. This guideline simplifies the complexity in the fields like healthcare policy and healthcareprovider.

13. CARE CARE (consensus-based clinical case reporting) was case report guideline which implements the precise supporting to magnify the accuracy and usefulness of casereport. It follows 13 itemised checklist, which was finalised based on the main component of case reports like title, and patient’s clinical informationand outcome of thetreatment.

14. Following reporting guideline, reportingquality will getimproved ADVANTAGES OFREPORTING GUIDELINES In high impact the journal will publish onlythe articles which are strictly adhering to the guideline only getpublished Helps the reviewer to check allessential information has beenreported.

15. CONCLUSION Publishing the research in high impact journalswas the key output of theresearcher. Based on the guideline, the importance and methodology of the study shouldbe accessed by the researcher to get involved in high impactresearch. It also improves the transparency and accuracy of thereports. As a futuristic context, these guidelines should revised constantly for improvingthe quality of research which appraise the researcher and theirresearch.
