A combination of tools including Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR), Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse (FAIR), and Quality Output Checklist and Content Assessment (QuOCCA) principles were used to quantify the value and reproducibility of journal policies.  ≥1 EQUATOR guideline checklist was endorsed or required in 76% of journals.  Linear regression of journal impact factors indicated a predictive relationship between FAIR adoption standards, use of EQUATOR checklists, and more rigorous statistical method submission criteria.



EQUATOR
A combination of tools including Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR), Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse (FAIR), and Quality Output Checklist and Content Assessment (QuOCCA) principles were used to quantify the value and reproducibility of journal policies.  FAIR adoptance was poor (31%, 22%) in RO and MedPhys journals.  Linear regression of journal impact factors indicated a predictive relationship between FAIR adoption standards, use of EQUATOR checklists, and more rigorous statistical method submission criteria.


 Established scientometric standards, FAIR principle adoptance, and more rigorous statistical methodology were predictive of increasing journal impact factor.
