Transparency & Reproducibility (arpsych-transparency-and-reproducibility)

When to trigger

• The review documents a systematic search and you must report it reproducibly
• The review embeds a meta-analysis or any new quantitative synthesis
• You are deciding what to deposit (search log, coding sheet, effect-size data, code)
• A reader or the Committee should be able to verify how the literature was selected

A review reports no new data — so transparency bites elsewhere

A pure narrative review has no dataset of its own, so the transparency obligation does not look like a primary-paper replication package. It bites on two things:

1. How the literature was found and selected — the search protocol from arpsych-literature-synthesis, written up so a reader could reproduce the coverage.
2. Any quantitative synthesis the review itself contributes — if you compute pooled effects, that is original analysis, and it must be reproducible (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).

Post-replication-crisis, ARPsych readers expect both, and a review that asserts "the literature shows…" with no documented basis reads as less authoritative.
