Research-assisted source review
- What it supports
- The analysis found that research continued to draw on a narrow cultural base and often generalised beyond the population actually sampled.
- Where it may not transfer
- One journal and its reporting practices cannot represent all psychological science. Coding publication text identifies sampling and generalisation problems but does not specify which product design will work in a given community.
