A comprehensive guide detailing the rigorous data analysis and reporting standards required for top-tier psychological science journals. It emphasizes moving beyond p-values to report effect sizes with confidence intervals, ensuring full disclosure of exclusions, and maintaining a clear separation between confirmatory and exploratory findings to enhance research credibility and reproducibility.

This skill guides the planning of psychological studies to meet the highest academic standards. It provides comprehensive methodologies for performing power analysis, justifying sample sizes, and implementing preregistration protocols. Use this when initiating a new research project or developing a pre-analysis plan to ensure the study design is robust and transparent.

A comprehensive guide and fit test designed to help researchers assess whether their empirical psychology project meets the high standards of top-tier journals like Psychological Science. It evaluates key criteria including broad impact, statistical robustness, open science readiness (preregistration/data sharing), and adherence to strict format limits. Use this skill to pressure-test your idea before committing resources to data collection or analysis, guiding you toward the optimal manuscript type (e.g., Research Article vs. Registered Report).

This skill details the rigorous methodology for defining study eligibility criteria and coding data for comprehensive meta-analyses. It emphasizes pre-specifying inclusion/exclusion rules in a protocol, developing a detailed codebook, performing double-coding, and calculating inter-rater reliability (e.g., Kappa, ICC) to ensure the reproducibility and trustworthiness of synthesis findings.

Provides rigorous statistical guidance for conducting meta-analyses in academic settings. This skill covers the calculation of standardized effect sizes (e.g., Hedges' g, log odds ratio), selecting appropriate models (defaulting to random-effects or multilevel models), and accurately quantifying between-study heterogeneity (Q, I², τ², and prediction intervals). It ensures the analysis meets state-of-the-art standards for high-impact psychological journals.

A comprehensive skill for advanced meta-analysis in psychology, designed to assess the reliability and sources of heterogeneity. It performs moderator/subgroup analyses (meta-regression) to explain effect size variation and runs multiple publication-bias diagnostics (e.g., Funnel plot, Egger's test, p-curve, selection models). Essential for rigorous academic reporting requiring robust evidence and sensitivity checks.

This guide provides a structured framework for responding to reviewers and editors regarding a meta-analysis or systematic synthesis. Because such revisions often involve expanding the search, changing eligibility criteria, or adding complex bias diagnostics, the response must maintain impeccable internal statistical consistency across all tables, figures, and estimates. It ensures all methodological changes are clearly propagated and justified.

This skill guides the creation of standard, high-quality exhibits for meta-analysis manuscripts, specifically adhering to APA 7th edition standards required by journals like Psychological Bulletin. It generates critical figures such as PRISMA flow diagrams, forest plots, funnel plots, and summary tables, ensuring the final report is self-contained, reproducible, and scientifically rigorous.

This skill guides researchers on whether a proposed research topic is suitable for a high-level synthesis journal (like Psychological Bulletin). It assesses the existing literature's depth, general academic significance, and whether the contribution is synthesizing prior findings. It determines the most appropriate synthesis methodology—such as meta-analysis, systematic review, or qualitative meta-synthesis—by comparing the nature of the pooled data.

This tool serves as an essential orchestrator for crafting and submitting research syntheses (such as meta-analyses and systematic reviews) for Psychological Bulletin. It guides users through the entire rigorous research lifecycle—from initial topic selection and literature searching (PRISMA) to data coding, meta-analysis, theoretical integration, and final manuscript preparation. It ensures that the project is correctly framed as a synthesis of existing work, not a primary study.

A comprehensive guide for executing and reporting quantitative analyses for high-stakes public policy research. This skill emphasizes methodological rigor, demanding transparency in uncertainty reporting (effect size, intervals), robust checks (heterogeneity, alternative specifications), and ensuring full reproducibility through master scripts and pinned versions for journal submission.

This comprehensive skill guides authors targeting Research Policy. It details the journal's scope, required evidence standards, house style, and common publishing pitfalls. It helps authors frame their work to fit the interdisciplinary field of innovation studies (STI), covering topics from R&D and technology policy to economic implications.
