We are delighted to announce the completion and publication of the IDEAL Reporting Guidelines which we hope will improve the quality of surgical research by increasing awareness of the key methodological issues throughout the innovation life-cycle. We hope they will serve to assist researchers/authors in their study planning, conduct and reporting of IDEAL Stage studies. We encourage Journals to alert authors to these guidelines in their Instructions to Authors.
