The EQUATOR (Enhancing the Quality and Transparency Of health Research) Network supports the practice of data sharing, and the reporting of data management and sharing plans, in all reports of biomedical research. Both practices should be included as checklist items when developing new or updating reporting guidelines. More focus should be given to structuring and standardising data management and sharing plans to help provide a similar impact as reporting guidelines.

EQUATOR(提高卫生研究的质量和透明度）网支持在所有生物医学研究报告中共享数据以及报告数据管理和共享计划的做法。在开发新的或更新报告指南时，这两种实践都应该作为检查表项目。应更加注重数据管理和共享计划的结构化和标准化，以帮助提供与报告准则类似的影响。
