The Quality of Methodological Reporting of Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) Articles Published in Iranian and Top Nursing and Midwifery Journals Indexed in the Scopus Database using the CONSORT Checklist: A Cross-sectional Study

CONCLUSION: The results of the research showed that the average quality of the methodological report in most cases of CONSORT statements in Iranian journals is lower than that of the top three Scopus journals. Journals with lower reporting quality scores, such as Iranian journals, can improve the quality of their articles by following reporting guidelines for all types of articles, including RCT articles.
