psychbull-inclusion-and-coding

Use when defining eligibility criteria and coding studies for a Psychological Bulletin review or meta-analysis — inclusion/exclusion rules, a codebook, double-coding, and inter-rater reliability. Governs how studies enter and are coded; effect-size modeling lives in psychbull-meta-analysis-methods.

# Inclusion & Coding (psychbull-inclusion-and-coding)

The credibility of a synthesis rests on **transparent, pre-specified eligibility** and **reliable
coding**. Decisions about which studies are in — and how their features are coded — must be
reproducible and made by **at least two trained coders** with documented agreement. This skill governs
eligibility and coding; the statistical model lives in `psychbull-meta-analysis-methods`.

## When to trigger

- Writing eligibility (inclusion/exclusion) criteria before full-text screening
- Building the **codebook** for study features, moderators, and effect-size inputs
- Setting up **double-coding** and computing **inter-rater reliability**
- A reviewer questions selection or coding decisions
