📢 New preprint: osf.io/preprints/me...

We outline a sample characteristics table for metaresearch studies + our vision for an automated workflow to make it easier to see who & what is represented in study samples, supporting generalisability & #EDI

To be continued at #RRiA2025 next week! 🚀

Diagram contrasting how research reports typically describe participant/sample metadata (e.g. age, gender, geography, ethnicity) but metaresearch studies often omit metadata about the publications they include (e.g. author career stage, gender, institution, language, open access). The central message: to assess equity and representation, we must look beyond participants to the people and contexts shaping our research samples.
