A Guide to Guidelines for Nursing Education Researchers

This installment of the Methodology Corner discusses the important role of research and quality improvement project reporting guidelines in the development of a field's evidence base. Several prominent guidelines, all with relevance to nursing education researchers, are described. Research and quality improvement reporting guidelines can be useful to researchers and quality improvement leaders long before the dissemination stage of a project and should be consulted from the earliest stages of a project. Consulting these guidelines earlier, rather than later, can increase the likelihood that studies and quality improvement reports will contribute meaningfully to the literature to which nurse educators look when making evidence-informed decisions.
