Carrying out a RIAT is likely to involve obtaining many trial related documents including large amounts (hundreds of pages) of documents and data. Researchers are free to use whatever methods works for them.

Aligned with concept of research transparency, we encourage RIATers (i.e. those carrying out a RIAT) to make as much data related to the RIAT trial publicly available, providing it is de-identified.  To do this, we recommend using the Open Science Framework (OSF). OSF is a free-of-charge cloud-based project management service that allows investigators to organize, share & edit research files much like other cloud sharing applications. It also enables researchers to make these files publicly accessible at any time, and can also be used to issue a DOI for individual documents or overall projects. Documents and projects with DOIs are identifiable by CrossRef and therefore identifiable by other researchers.
