SURGE (The SUrvey Reporting GuidelinE)
Abstract
The SURGE (The SUrvey Reporting GuidelinE) is primarily intended to provide guidance to authors reporting information that has been collected via self-administered, postal surveys. This chapter discusses three phases of the foundation work to develop reporting guideline for survey research. It explains systematic review of the literature designed to identify any existing guidelines or quality criteria relevant to the reporting of survey research, and any research evaluating the quality of reporting for survey research; results from this phase indicated that while criteria have been identified to inform the reporting of survey research, no validated reporting guidelines exist. Second, results from this review informed the development and pilot-testing of a 33-item assessment tool designed to identify the most important criteria to be reported. Finally, the chapter discusses the application of this tool to a representative sample of published papers reporting the results of surveys from the health and health services literature.

“While the SURGE checklist used a literature review for generation of their items, it also lacks the Delphi exercise and is limited to only self-administered postal surveys.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
