Documents
International documents describe study registration before enrollment and disclosure of results. Check the applicable requirements and your target journal's policy: publishing on ClinicalStudy.ru alone does not guarantee compliance.

Establishes requirements for the registration of clinical studies as a mandatory condition for publication.
WHO statement on disclosure of trial results
The 9 April 2015 statement covers trial registration, record updates and public disclosure of results.
Declaration of Helsinki
An ethical document governing the conduct of medical research and the need to register studies.
Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)
Guidance on good practice for medical journal editors, including requirements for the registration of studies.
World Association of Medical Editors (WAME)

Questions
The tendency to publish primarily studies with statistically significant results. As a result, the body of accumulated data is skewed in favor of "positive" studies, while work with negative results often remains unpublished. This leads to the efficacy and safety profiles of any interventions being rated deliberately higher than they actually are. This tendency has a number of negative consequences for patients, the medical community, the healthcare system as a whole, and pharmaceutical companies. For the latter, publication bias also carries reputational and financial risks.
Open the ClinicalStudy.ru step-by-step guide: prepare your protocol and PICO, sign in, complete the form, save a draft and publish. Then verify the NNADM number and public record. Check your target journal's registry requirements in advance. A list of other international registries is also available.
When enrolling in a research program, a patient signs an informed consent form stating that the results obtained will be used in the interest of other patients. The absence of a publication devalues the participation and the risks to which the patient was exposed as a result of taking part in the study.
Failing to publish results leads to the duplication of studies and the inefficient use of scientific resources. Entire teams spend time re-confirming a null hypothesis that has already been proven.
Any study involves significant financial costs: developing the protocol, maintaining documentation, the work of the research team, statistical analysis, and data processing. If the results of such studies are not published, the resources of the healthcare system are used irrationally and do not bring the expected benefit.
There are documents according to which any prospective clinical study must be registered in a registry of clinical studies and subsequently published. Registration is an integral part of the scientific process: it increases the transparency of studies, reduces the risk of data manipulation, and decreases publication bias.
