将研究结果整合到一个共同的知识体系中的一个主要问题是报告风格的异质性：（1）很难找到相关信息，（2）重要信息往往缺失。报告指南应支持对实证研究进行系统化、标准化的介绍，从而改进报告，以支持读者（1）找到他们正在寻找的信息，（2）理解实验是如何进行的，以及（3）评估其结果的有效性。本文件的目的是调查最突出的公布的报告准则的建议，并得出一个统一的标准，可以作为进一步讨论的出发点。我们对报告特定类型的实证研究的章节和小节的预期内容提供了详细的指导，即，控制实验。在评估准则之前，需要研究界的反馈。为此，我们建议从其他学科的指导方针的制定过程。
One major problem for integrating study results into a common body of knowledge is the heterogeneity of reporting styles: (1) it is difficult to locate relevant information and (2) important information is often missing. Reporting guidelines are expected to support a systematic, standardized presentation of empirical research, thus improving reporting in order to support readers in (1) finding the information they are looking for, (2) understanding how an experiment is conducted, and (3) assessing the validity of its results. The objective of this paper is to survey the most prominent published proposals for reporting guidelines, and to derive a unified standard that which can serve as a starting point for further discussion. We provide detailed guidance on the expected content of the sections and subsections for reporting a specific type of empirical studies, i.e., controlled experiments. Before the guidelines can be evaluated, feedback from the research community is required. For this purpose, we propose to adapt guideline development processes from other disciplines.
