The EQUATOR (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research) Network is an international initiative that seeks to improve the reliability and value of published health research literature by promoting transparent and accurate reporting and wider use of robust reporting guidelines.
The French Equator Centre led by Philippe Ravaud, was created in 2014.
In addition to help carrying out the strategic vision of the EQUATOR network in France and in French speaking countries, the focus of the French EQUATOR centre is on increasing/improving/enhancing the value of biomedical research. This will be done through the improvement of the planning, design, conduct/management and reporting of biomedical research.
