Service Scope and Terms
1. Definition of Scope
This package includes the execution of three (3) distinct meta-analyses. One “Meta-Analysis” is defined as the statistical synthesis of data for:
- One (1) specific Outcome Variable (e.g., “Depression Scores”).
- One (1) specific Comparison/Intervention (e.g., “CBT vs. Control”).
2. What is Included (Deliverables)
For each of the three analyses, you will receive:
- Statistical Models: Execution of Random-Effects or Fixed-Effects models as appropriate for the data.
- Visualizations: High-resolution Forest Plots and Funnel Plots (for publication bias assessment).
- Heterogeneity Assessment: Calculation and reporting of $I^2$ and $Q$-statistics.
- Methods Write-up: A drafted “Data Analysis” section suitable for manuscript submission, detailing the software and statistical methods used.
3. Revision Policy
- Included Revisions: One (1) round of revisions per analysis is included to tweak formatting, labels, or color schemes.
- Re-analysis: Changes to the dataset (e.g., adding/removing studies after the analysis is complete) constitute a new analysis and may incur an additional fee or use up another “credit” from the package.
