The LANDMARK study is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel comparative study conducted among outpatients on regular hemodialysis. The study protocol and informed consent form were approved by the institutional review boards of each center.

What are landmark studies in research?

Seminal works, sometimes called pivotal or landmark studies, are articles that initially presented an idea of great importance or influence within a particular discipline.

How do you identify a landmark study?

To identify landmark papers, you can also consult the bibliography of your textbook if you have already taken classes that cover (even briefly) your subfield of interest. If your textbook is one that is used by a lot of university professors, then it probably covers landmark papers well.
