Printed articles increasingly rely on online supplements to store critical scientific information, but such data may eventually become unavailable. We checked the current availability of online supplementary scientific information published in six top‐cited scientific journals (Science, Nature, Cell, New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA). Here we show that in 4.7% and 9.6% of articles with online supplementary material, some of the… Expand

The Use of the World Wide Web by Medical Journals in 2003 and 2005: An Observational Study
TLDR
The aim was to characterize ways that journals were using the World Wide Web in 2005 and note changes since 2003 and there was little evidence of journals using the Web to provide readers an interactive experience with the data or with each other. Expand
Public Availability of Published Research Data in High-Impact Journals
TLDR
A substantial proportion of original research papers published in high-impact journals are either not subject to any data availability policies, or do not adhere to the data availability instructions in their respective journals. Expand
Policies regarding public availability of published research data in pediatrics journals
TLDR
No correlation was found between the value of a journal’s impact factor and the availability of open data, and the policies on openness in sharing scientific research data in a sample of pediatric journals. Expand
The Prevalence and Inaccessibility of Internet References in the Biomedical Literature at the Time of Publication
TLDR
The prevalence of Internet citations in journals included in PubMed is small (<1%); however, the inaccessibility rate at the time of publication is considered substantial. Expand
Reproducible Research Practices and Transparency across the Biomedical Literature
There is a growing movement to encourage reproducibility and transparency practices in the scientific community, including public access to raw data and protocols, the conduct of replication studies,… Expand

The quality of safety reporting in trials is still suboptimal: survey of major general medical journals.
TLDR
The use of the Extension of the CONSORT statement may be associated with improving the quality of safety reporting in RCTs, but there are still deficiencies that need to be corrected to use quantitative objective evidence for harms in performing meta-analyses and making therapeutic decisions.

Standardized retrieval of side effects data for meta-analysis of safety outcomes. A feasibility study in acute sinusitis.
TLDR
Whether a systematic review and meta-analysis of standardized safety data is feasible by requesting information on side effects directly from the investigators of all 38 antibiotic trials on acute sinusitis published in the last decade is evaluated. Expand
“Link rot” limits the usefulness of web‐based educational materials in biochemistry and molecular biology *
