The use of the stepped-wedge cluster randomised trial (SW-CRT) is on the increase, and although there are still relatively few SW-CRTs currently published its use is bound to show an increase in the near future. An extension of the CONSORT reporting guideline for SW-CRTs has recently been developed. By making reporting guidelines for this innovative design available relatively early in its development, it is possible that the methodological conduct and reporting of future SW-CRTs will not be at the same risk of low-quality of reporting as is the case with many other study designs. We provide a brief overview of this reporting guideline and encourage authors to use it appropriately; and for journal editors to endorse its use.

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.
