The articles cover a broad range of topics from about 125 clinical journals, and include original studies, reviews, evidence-based guidelines, and other types of studies. Each article has been manually classified for rigor by expert research associates and reviewed by clinicians with research methods expertise.

Articles that meet rigor are then reviewed by practicing clinicians on the relevance to practice within their clinical domain. The methodological criteria are described here hiruweb.mcmaster.ca/hkr/what-we-do/methodologic-criteria/. The data was used in a study to train a machine learning algorithm to classify articles for methodological rigor using automated machine learning approaches.
