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.
