The most important goal of clinical researches is publishing the results in order to improve human health. If the results will be accepted by the scientific community, researcher aim would be achieved at improving public health. A published article does not guarantee the acceptance of its findings by the scientific community, hence, research should be done by considering a scientific plan. Due to the increasing amount of research studies, experts attempted to provide guidelines for standardization of a piece of scientific medical research.

Researches related to the diagnostic tests, are important studies in medical sciences, it is because of their critical role in detection of many diseases by using laboratory processes such as microbiology, immunology, pathology, etc. Early diagnosis of diseases results in developing the treatment process and therefore controlling and inhibiting the spread of pathogens from patients to others.

With regard to the fact that Iran placed among the 30 countries leading in publication of scientific journals related to diagnostic tests and according to important role of standardization of research design and final report of diagnostic tests, the present study was performed to introduce the STandards for the Reporting of Diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD).
