The author explains the value of publishing protocols of clinical trials. Among the benefits of publishing study protocols are informed decision making for patients, minimized bias, accountability on the part of authors, opportunity for the scientific community to evaluate the consistency of investigators' intent, and dissemination of contemporary ideas with respect to study design and data analysis. The criteria for the publication of a proposed study are cited.
