arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance

Use when checking that an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) review covers the literature even-handedly — across labs, paradigms, and rival theories — weighs evidence by credibility, and avoids self-promotion. Audits coverage and fairness; it does not build the search (arpsych-literature-synthesis) or design the spine (arpsych-organizing-framework).

# Comprehensiveness & Balance (arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance)

## When to trigger

- The framework is set but coverage may be lopsided toward one camp or method
- The author's own work is cited far more than its share of the field
- Contested effects are presented as settled (or vice versa) without weighing evidence
- A rival theory or a contradicting literature is under-represented or dismissed in a line

## Why balance is editorial currency at ARPsych

ARPsych authors are chosen partly for the standing to be **even-handed**, and the Committee assesses delivered reviews for **accuracy, rigor, and balance** (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). A review of record cannot read as advocacy for the author's lab or favored theory. The job here is to audit the draft against four failure modes specific to high-stakes psychology reviews.
