Checklist for creating AMORE project proposal
When creating a project proposal for a Living Meta-Analysis in AMORE, it is essential to include all necessary information to ensure a smooth review and approval process. The following checklist outlines the key components that should be included in your project proposal.
Statistical Resources
Introduction to Meta-analysis textbook
This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of meta-analysis. It covers topics such as effect size estimation, heterogeneity, publication bias, and advanced meta-analytic techniques. The book is suitable for researchers and students who want to learn how to conduct and interpret meta-analyses.
Doing Meta-Analysis with R: A Hands-On Guide
This book provides a practical guide to conducting meta-analyses using R. It covers the basics of meta-analysis, including effect size calculation, heterogeneity assessment, and publication bias detection. The book also includes advanced topics such as multilevel meta-analysis and bayesian meta-analysis.
R and RStudio
R is a programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics. RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for R that provides a user-friendly interface for writing and executing R code. Together, they are widely used in data analysis, statistical modeling, and visualization.
A Review of Meta-Analysis Packages in R
Numerous R packages are available for conducting meta-analyses, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. This review provides an overview of some of the most commonly used packages. It discusses their features, capabilities, and limitations, helping researchers choose the most appropriate package for their specific needs.
JASP
JASP is a free and open-source statistical software that provides a user-friendly interface for conducting statistical analyses. It is designed to be easy to use, even for those with limited statistical knowledge, and offers a range of statistical tests and visualizations.
Adjusting for Publication Bias in JASP and R: Selection Models, PET-PEESE, and Robust Bayesian Meta-Analysis
This article provides a comprehensive overview of methods for adjusting for publication bias in meta-analyses using JASP and R. It covers selection models, PET-PEESE, and robust Bayesian meta-analysis, providing practical guidance on how to implement these methods in both software environments.
Equivalence Tests
Equivalence tests are statistical tests used to determine whether two groups are equivalent, rather than simply different. This article provides a practical introduction to equivalence testing, and enables psychologists to perform equivalence tests (and power analyses).

Additional Resources
PRISMA for Living Systematic Reviews
PRISMA for Living Systematic Reviews (LSR) is an extension of the PRISMA statement that provides guidance on reporting living systematic reviews and meta-analyses. It includes a checklist and flow diagram to help researchers ensure they are following best practices in their reporting.
PROSPERO
PROSPERO is specifically designed for registering systematic review protocols focused on health related research It provides a standardized format for documenting review methods before they begin.
Open Science Framework (OSF)
The Open Science Framework (OSF) is a free and open-source platform that supports researchers in managing their projects, sharing their data, and collaborating with others. It provides tools for pre-registration, data sharing, and project management, making it easier for researchers to conduct and share their work transparently. It is developed by the Center for Open Science (COS).
Retraction Watch
Tracking retractions as a window into the scientific process. This resource monitors and reports on retractions of scientific papers.
Zotero
Reference management software that helps you collect, organize, and cite research. Zotero informs when articles in your libraries have been retracted or corrected, and it can help you keep track of your references and citations.
