Over the past four decades, psychometric meta-analysis (PMA) has emerged a key way that psychological disciplines build cumulative scientific knowledge. Despite the importance and popularity of PMA, software implementing the method has tended to be closed-source, inflexible, limited in terms of the psychometric corrections available, cumbersome to use for complex analyses, and/or costly. To overcome these limitations, we created the R package: a free, open-source, comprehensive program for PMA.
在过去的四十年里,心理测量元分析(PMA)已成为心理学学科积累科学知识的关键方式。尽管PMA很重要且很受欢迎,但实现该方法的软件往往是闭源的、不灵活的、可用的心理测量校正有限、用于复杂分析时使用起来很麻烦,和/或成本很高。为了克服这些限制,我们创建了R包:一个用于PMA的免费、开源、全面的程序。
