Use when writing the response to a Psychological Bulletin revise-and-resubmit. A synthesis R&R often demands re-running the search, adding studies, or new bias/moderator analyses, so the response must satisfy every reviewer and the editor while keeping the meta-analysis internally consistent. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate results.

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.

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.
