We compiled the Directory in 3 main steps:
- Identify ratified research guidelines
- We searched for ratified research guidelines using search terms derived from our definition of ratified research guideline (RRG) and established organization in
- World Wide Web (using the commercial search engines Google and Google Scholar)
- PubMed database
- We discovered them serendipitously, e.g., while reading a trade publication; includes relevant ratified research guidelines on hand at the start.
- Inventory guidelines
- We confirmed the relevance of each identified guideline using our criteria of relevance
- We entered relevant guidelines into our database and indexed them according to our classification schemes.
- Construct profiles
We welcome feedback, including the identification of additional ratified research guidelines.
