I recently had a discussion with an editorial board whether reporting #checklists should be mandatory. The board suggested that this would limit creativity and openness.

Most checklists only say what should be minimally reported and are rarely otherwise normative.

It would have helped this manuscript, so that I would have understood what the authors had done.

The "Reviewer's guide to #QuantitativeMethods" provides a concise summary of what to learn about and how to plan & report studies employing 31 (2nd ed. apparently 35) methods: https://www.routledge.com/The-Reviewers-Guide-to-Quantitative-Methods-in-the-Social-Sciences/Hancock-Stapleton-Mueller/p/book/9781138800137

Since it is a book, it will be difficult for many to get access. Does anyone know whether at least the checklists have been published somewhere #OpenAccess?

And is there a #QualitativeMethods version?
