Library of Guidance for Health Scientists (LIGHTS): Eine neue Datenbank für methodische Leitlinien in der klinischen Forschung.

Methodological issues (e.g., ignoring missing data, irrelevant outcomes, flawed subgroup analyses) often limit the value of health research. One reason is that health researchers cannot easily find relevant methods guidance. To improve the findability of methods guidance, we initiated the development of the Library of Guidance for Health Scientists (LIGHTS, https://lights.science/). LIGHTS is a new open access database to effectively support health researchers, statisticians, methods consultants, methods developers, ethics boards, peer reviewers, journal editors, funding bodies, and others who are searching for optimal methods guidance in clinical research.
