As the number of submissions to Pilot and Feasibility Studies increases, there is a need for good quality reporting guidelines to help researchers tailor their reports in a way that is consistent and helpful to other readers. The publication in 2016 of the CONSORT extension to pilot and feasibility trials filled a much-needed gap, but there still remains some uncertainty as to how to report pilot and feasibility studies that are not randomised. This editorial aims to provide some general guidance on how to report the most common types of non-randomised pilot and feasibility studies that are submitted to the journal. We recommend using the CONSORT extension to pilot and feasibility trials as the main reference document-it includes detailed elaboration and explanation of each item, and in most cases, simple adaptation, or non-use of items that are not applicable, will suffice. Several checklists found on the Equator website may provide helpful supplementary guidance, when used alongside the CONSORT extension, and we give some examples.

The EQUATOR Network is an international initiative that seeks to enhance reliability and value of medical research literature by promoting transparent and accurate reporting of research studies. This goal will be achieved through: raising awareness of the crucial importance of good reporting of research becoming the recognised global centre providing resources, education and training relating to the reporting of health research and use of reporting guidelines assisting in the development, dissemination and implementation of reporting guidelines monitoring the status of the quality of reporting across health research literature conducting research relating to the quality of reporting The EQUATOR Network Resource Centre provides up-to-date resources related to health research reporting mainly for: authors of research articles journal editors and peer reviewers reporting guideline developers Other users that benefit from the knowledge of principles of good research reporting include representatives of research funders, research ethics committee members, individuals and organisations involved in research education. The resources on our website are regularly updated (see the date of the last update at the foot of each page). Sponsor.
