The EQUATOR Network is a new quality improvement initiative that seeks to enhance reliability of medical research literature by promoting transparent and accurate reporting of health research.
That goal will be achieved through: 
- raising awareness of the crucial importance of good reporting of research
 - becoming the recognised global centre providing resources 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
