Abstract There is substantial evidence that research studies reported in the scientific literature do not provide adequate information so that readers know exactly what was done and what was found. This problem has been addressed by the development of reporting guidelines which tell authors what should be reported and how it should be described. Many reporting guidelines are now available for different types of research designs. There is no such guideline for one type of research design commonly used in the behavioral sciences, the single-case experimental design (SCED). The present study addressed this gap. This report describes the Single-Case Reporting guideline In BEhavioural interventions (SCRIBE) 2016, which is a set of 26 items that authors need to address when writing about SCED research for publication in a scientific journal. Each item is described, a rationale for its inclusion is provided, and examples of adequate reporting taken from the literature are quoted. It is recommended that the SCRIBE 2016 is used by authors preparing manuscripts describing SCED research for publication, as well as journal reviewers and editors who are evaluating such manuscripts.

《行为干预（SCRIBE）2016单案报告指南：解释与阐述》的转载

摘要 有大量证据表明，科学文献中报告的研究没有提供足够的信息，因此读者无法准确了解所做的工作和发现的内容。报告指南的制定已经解决了这个问题，该指南告诉作者应该报告什么以及应该如何描述。许多报告指南现在可用于不同类型的研究设计。对于行为科学中常用的一种研究设计，即单例实验设计 (SCED)，没有这样的指导方针。本研究解决了这一差距。本报告介绍了 2016 年行为干预 (SCRIBE) 中的单例报告指南，这是作者在撰写有关 SCED 研究以在科学期刊上发表时需要解决的 26 个项目的集合。描述了每一项，提供了纳入的理由，并引用了从文献中提取的充分报告的例子。建议撰写描述 SCED 研究的手稿的作者以及正在评估此类手稿的期刊审稿人和编辑使用 SCRIBE 2016。
