The EQUATOR (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research) Network is an international initiative that seeks to improve the reliability and value of published health research literature by promoting transparent and accurate reporting and wider use of robust reporting guidelines.
There are extensive resources on the site, but perhaps the most useful is the 'Library' - an extensive collection of guidelines and policy documents related to health research reporting, including guidance specific to various medical specialities, and animal research.
Reporting guidelines for common types of studies are included, and also available at a companion site Good Reports
