一篇典型的行为研究论文以对一种常见现象的多项研究为特色，这些研究都是单独分析的。由于这些研究是一种普遍现象，这种做法效率低下，并放弃了只有在单一论文荟萃分析(SPM)中联合分析它们才能获得的重要好处。为了促进SPM，我们引入了元分析方法，这种方法用户友好，应用广泛，并且专门为典型行为研究论文中出现的一组研究的SPM量身定做。我们的SPM方法为研究总结、理论测试和可复制性提供了重要的好处，我们通过三个案例研究来说明这一点，其中包括最近在《消费者研究杂志》和《营销研究杂志》上发表的论文。我们主张典型行为研究论文的作者使用它来补充在其论文正文中独立检查多项研究的单一研究分析，以及在其论文的一般讨论中口头综合这些研究的“定性荟萃分析”。当这样使用时，只需要对当前的做法进行微小的修改。我们提供了一个简单易用的网站，实现了我们的SPM方法。
A typical behavioral research paper features multiple studies of a common phenomenon that are analyzed solely in isolation. Because the studies are of a common phenomenon, this practice is inefficient and forgoes important benefits that can be obtained only by analyzing them jointly in a single-paper meta-analysis (SPM). To facilitate SPM, we introduce meta-analytic methodology that is userfriendly, widely applicable, and specially tailored to the SPM of the set of studies that appear in a typical behavioral research paper. Our SPM methodology provides important benefits for study summary, theory testing, and replicability that we illustrate via three case studies that include papers recently published in the Journal of Consumer Research and the Journal of Marketing Research. We advocate that authors of typical behavioral research papers use it to supplement the single-study analyses that independently examine the multiple studies in the body of their papers as well as the " qualitative meta-analysis" that verbally synthesizes the studies in the general discussion of their papers. When used as such, this requires only a minor modification of current practice. We provide an easy-to-use website that implements our SPM methodology.
