Barriers to conducting clinical research in reproductive medicine: India
Open accessAbstract
Research in India is evolving at a rapid pace. Ergo, we need faster approval processes and review timelines. Improvement in the quality of institutional review boards would also contribute to good research practices. Clinical research should be included as a part of the undergraduate medical and pharmacy curriculum, and leading hospitals and practitioners should openly endorse research.

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.
