Using checklists to explain methodological and reporting details of qualitative studies may also benefit from a halo effect as it is consistent with many journal requirements for quantitative research. Finally, the inclusion of explicit instructions within authorship guidelines for obesity journals can highlight the range of research considered for publication, which can include requiring applicable reporting checklists and be accompanied by the inclusion of scientists, clinicians, and administrators at all stages of the peer-review process who possess methodological expertise in both quantitative and qualitative research.	./cache/cord-012136-9sx61tso.txt	./txt/cord-012136-9sx61tso.txt
