arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance

separate

Use when checking that an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) review covers the literature even-handedly — across labs, paradigms, and rival theories — weighs evidence by credibility, and avoids self-promotion. Audits coverage and fairness; it does not build the search (arpsych-literature-synthesis) or design the spine (arpsych-organizing-framework).

When to use

• Checking coverage balance across labs and paradigms
• Auditing credibility weighting of evidence
• Evaluating theory balance and presentation of rival accounts
• Conducting self-promotion and citation proportion audits
• Flagging non-replicating or bias-prone effects
• Ensuring comparable depth across framework cells

When not to use

• Building the literature search
• Designing the organizing framework
