Biodiversity helps to ensure a healthy and functioning planet. We depend on biodiversity to facilitate ecosystem services essential for life and our well-being. These include the microorganisms that enrich soil and purify water, the pollinators that give us food, and the plants that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, as the human impact on the planet intensifies, the ability of ecosystems to provide these services is increasingly compromised.

The use of reporting guidelines in structuring and writing research significantly improves the reliability and reproducibility of the methods and results presented. However, there are still many barriers that prevent authors finding, accessing, and using reporting guidelines effectively.
