Improving ERP Method Reporting with ARTEM-IS: A Hands-On Introduction

Abstract

Transparent and detailed reporting of ERP methods is essential but often insufficiently addressed, impacting clarity and reproducibility of research. Existing guidelines and checklists have not fully resolved these issues. This workshop presents ARTEM-IS (Agreed Reporting Template for EEG Methodology – International Standard), a community-driven, web-based tool designed to help researchers systematically document ERP methodologies using a standardized metadata template. We will begin by sharing the story behind ARTEM-IS, its origins, challenges, and the collaborative effort shaping it, emphasizing why better ERP method documentation represents both a technical need and a cultural shift toward scientific transparency. Next, we’ll provide a guided walkthrough of the ARTEM-IS tool, demonstrating how to input detailed study information from design to visualization and generate both human- and machine-readable reports. We’ll also discuss current features and planned extensions, including support for complex designs and open science integration. The core of the workshop is a practical challenge. Participants will use ARTEM-IS to document one of their own ERP studies in real time, with guidance throughout. Attendees should prepare a relevant paper to efficiently extract methodological details. By the end, participants will have hands-on experience, a completed or nearly completed documentation template for their study, and insights on integrating ARTEM-IS into future publications.The Toolbox Bouquet is half a day online session running on Oct 30th 2025.
