arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance
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).

# Comprehensiveness & Balance (arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance) ## When to trigger - The framework is set but coverage may be lopsided toward one camp or method - The author's own work is cited far more than its share of the field - Contested effects are presented as settled (or vice versa) without weighing evidence - A rival theory or a contradicting literature is under-represented or dismissed in a line ## Why balance is editorial currency at ARPsych ARPsych authors are chosen partly for the standing to be **even-handed**, and the Committee assesses delivered reviews for **accuracy, rigor, and balance** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). A review of record cannot read as advocacy for the author's lab or favored theory. The job here is to audit the draft against four failure modes specific to high-stakes psychology reviews. ### 1. Coverage balance (across labs and paradigms) Use the evidence matrix's `lab/camp` and `paradigm` columns. If three groups or one method dominate the citations, ask whether that reflects the field or the author's reading. Actively seek the work you find *least congenial* — the strongest version of the opposing view, not a strawman. ### 2. Credibility weighting (n

What does the arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance skill do?
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).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
