Area of Science:

Neuroimaging
Cognitive Neuroscience
Data Science

Background:

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies are crucial for understanding brain function.
Inconsistent reporting of fMRI methods and results hinders study comprehension, replication, and reuse.
The COBIDAS report (2016) provides guidelines for reporting task-based fMRI studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the evolution of reporting standards for fMRI methods and results.
To assess current reporting practices in published fMRI studies.
To identify areas for improvement in fMRI data reporting.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of 160 fMRI papers published between 2004 and 2019.
Analysis of reporting practices across study design, participant characteristics, scanner parameters, data processing, statistical analysis, and results.
Comparison of reporting practices before and after the COBIDAS guidelines.

Main Results:

Significant variability exists in the reporting of fMRI methods and results.
Reporting practices have shown some improvement, but inconsistencies remain.
Specific areas like participant characteristics and data sharing require further attention.

Conclusions:

Standardized reporting of fMRI studies is essential for scientific rigor.
Adherence to guidelines like COBIDAS can improve the quality and reproducibility of fMRI research.
Further efforts are needed to ensure comprehensive and consistent reporting across the field.
