Reporting Research in Psychology provides practical guidance on understanding and implementing journal article reporting standards (JARS) and meta-analysis reporting standards (MARS). These standards were designed to make the reporting of results both comprehensive and uniform. Reporting standards, now widely used in the behavioral, social, educational, and medical sciences, provide transparency to the research process and make the generalization of results across studies more precise.

In this book Harris Cooper includes carefully chosen examples from articles published in APA journals that illustrate how JARS and MARS can be incorporated into various types of research studies, with engaging and helpful commentaries on each item.
