More resources will be added as they are found.

 

  1. Online LaTeX Editors/Compilers:

    Compile LaTeX documents right in your browser with either of these two webservices. These two companies are merging and soon will be one editor. Either of these should work well for testing the flowchart package out-of-the-box. Register an account and copy and paste the manuscript, figure file, tikz file, and data file in the same directory with the proper extensions and it should compile and allow you to download the resulting PDF.

     

  2. Reporting Guidelines (Most Common):

    Here are some common reporting guidelines:

    (a) STROBE Statement - https://www.strobe-statement.org - For Cohort Studies.

    Vandenbroucke JP, von Elm E, Altman DG, Gøtzsche PC, Mulrow CD, Pocock SJ,Poole C, Schlesselman JJ, Egger M; STROBE initiative. (16 Oct. 2007) Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE): Explanation and Elaboration. Ann Intern Med. 147(8):W163-94. PMID: 17938389

    (b) CONSORT Statement - https://www.consort-statement.org - For Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT's).

    Moher, D., et al. (8 Dec. 2016.). CONSORT 2010 Explanation and Elaboration. BMJ. EPub, 1-28.

    (c) PRISMA Statement - http://www.prisma-statement.org - For Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.

    Alessandro Liberati (21 Jul. 2009). The PRISMA Statement for Reporting Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses of Studies That Evaluate Health Care Interventions: Explanation and Elaboration. PLOS Medicine. 6(7):e1000100.

    (d) The EQUATOR Network - http://www.equator-network.org - Lists of Other Reporting Guidelines. This resource is an endeavor to provide a comprehensive list of reporting guidelines for different types of studies and areas of research.

     

  3. Spreckelsen, Thees. (23 Aug 2014). "Stata: CONSORT Flowchart. Too curious to sit still". Retrieved from https://theesspreckelsen.wordpress.com/2014/08/23/stata-consort-flowchart/ on August 1, 2017.

    The details of Dr. Spreckelsen's post were not known during the main portion of the development of the flowchart package nor were any ideas or code used, but the advantage of Spreckelsen's idea is the simplicity of the resulting diagram. The disadvantage is that it is not dynamic (is static/non-programmable) and thus not as amenable to future changes to an analysis. Any changes to the numbers could mean overhauling the diagram. It also does not appear to produce a publication-quality rendering. However, it is still a useful contribution to the existing methods to produce flow diagrams and Spreckelsen is to be applauded for his contribution.

     

  4. Meine, Hans. (20 May 2010). "Including TikZ Pictures". Retrieved from https://kogs-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/\~meine/tikz/process/ on August 3, 2017.

    This is a great explanation of how to incorporate a TikZ Picture in LaTeX into a manuscript.
