Abstract
Three ways to enhance acceptance and publication of clinical trials in homoeopathy and confirmatory laboratory studies on serially agitated dilutions are proposed. First, we recommend the use of methodology and presentation checklists to increase the quality of original papers on research. Second, we recommend to prepare an extensive report available to interested persons if a published report does not include all relevant details. Third, we recommend establishing a preregistration data base for all confirmatory projects of research in homoeopathy.Keywords
