Identifying appropriate variables and data collection method : Clearly define the variables relevant to your research questions and objectives to ensure the data collected is meaningful. is an excellent tool for this purpose, offering a secure platform for data collection. It ensures the confidentiality and integrity of your data while providing a user-friendly interface for researchers. One of its powerful features is branching logic, which allows you to tailor the data collection process based on previous responses, making it more efficient and ensuring that you collect only the necessary data for each participant. 🥼 Scientific committee protocol AssessmentIf you have external IRB approval (University IRB) and want do the data collection from ALNAS hospitalYou need to send to the scientific committee and attach the IRB approval, approved protocol, Informed consent (if applicable) and 📜 IRB Decision

Here are a list of AI tools can assist in spotting potential issues, offering suggestions, and ensuring consistency. Some notable AI-powered tools include:
Best Practice:
While AI tools are powerful, it's essential to also have a subject matter expert (such as a clinician or researcher) review the manuscript.
This tool helps you find relevant Elsevier journals by submitting the title and abstract of your manuscript. It suggests journals based on your content.
Similar to Elsevier’s tool, Springer’s Journal Suggester matches your research to relevant Springer journals.
(Journal/Author Name Estimator)
JANE helps identify the most appropriate journal by analyzing your abstract or article content and then comparing it to other publications in the database.
A free journal search tool that suggests journals based on your research topic and article title.
(Directory of Open Access Journals)
If you're interested in open access journals, DOAJ can help you find suitable journals by subject area or keyword.They sometimes fall under the following headings:
Authors of research articles frequently forget to report details about their study which are important for readers to know. This can delay publication and stop their work being used, cited or replicated. This is a waste of the human and financial resources invested in the research.
Reporting Guidelines and checklists have been developed - by - for a wide variety of research types and study designs which set up the most important things readers need to know about your work. PDF
