Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is standards and guidelines for observational studies : quality in the eye of the beholder?

A common set of agreed on standards/guidelines for conducting observational studies will benefit funders, researchers, journal editors, and decision makers.
Output (English): yes
