Guidelines on reporting and assessing dynamic mathematical models of infectious diseases: a scoping review
Mathematical models are valuable tools for guiding public health policy decisions to combat the spread of infectious diseases. Nevertheless, a lack of appropriate quality assessment tools and reporting guidelines hinders the comprehensibility, transparency, and credibility of infectious disease mode...

| Summary: | Mathematical models are valuable tools for guiding public health policy decisions to combat the spread of infectious diseases. Nevertheless, a lack of appropriate quality assessment tools and reporting guidelines hinders the comprehensibility, transparency, and credibility of infectious disease modelling studies and the ability to assess their quality. In a first step towards addressing the need for reporting guidelines and quality assessment tools specific to infectious disease modelling, this scoping review identified common themes in existing reporting and quality assessment guidance for infectious disease modelling studies and adjacent fields. |
