Abstract The Reporting Items for Patent Landscapes (RIPL) checklist aims to improve the transparency and completeness of reporting of patent landscapes. It lists items that should minimally be reported in academic papers incorporating patent landscapes. Though it was developed based on evidence from the life sciences and focussed on academic articles, it could also be useful for a broader range of stakeholders. Here, I introduce readers to RIPL, discuss how it may be useful in academia, policy/government and industry, and highlight other resources to use with it. Further steps that could be taken to improve reproducibility, including open code and protocol registration, are then highlighted.

提高专利格局的透明度和可重复性：专利格局报告项目 (RIPL) 声明和其他考虑因素

摘要 专利态势报告项目 (RIPL) 清单旨在提高专利态势报告的透明度和完整性。它列出了在包含专利情况的学术论文中最少应该报告的项目。虽然它是根据生命科学的证据开发的，并且专注于学术文章，但它也可能对更广泛的利益相关者有用。在这里，我向读者介绍 RIPL，讨论它如何在学术界、政策/政府和行业中发挥作用，并重点介绍与它一起使用的其他资源。然后突出显示可以采取的进一步措施来提高可重复性，包括开放代码和协议注册。
