鉴于美国心理学会出版手册即将修订，美国心理学会出版与传播委员会成立了期刊文章报告标准工作组（jar），并委托该工作组为提交给美国心理学会期刊的报告(a)新数据收集和(b)元分析的手稿中应包含的信息提供背景和建议。jar小组审查了在相关领域制定标准的努力，并寻求其他知识团体的投入。由此产生的建议包含(a)所有期刊文章的标准，(b)使用随机或非随机分配的研究设计进行实验操作或干预评估的研究报告的更具体标准，以及(c)报告荟萃分析的文章的标准。jar小组预计，报告其他研究设计（例如观察性研究、纵向研究）的标准将随着时间的推移而出现。本报告还(a)研究了鼓励研究人员在报告研究时提供更多细节的社会发展，(b)指出了报告要求、标准和建议之间的重要差异，以及(c)研究了制定和实施报告标准的好处和障碍。
In anticipation of the impending revision of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, APA's Publications and Communications Board formed the Working Group on Journal Article Reporting Standards (JARS) and charged it to provide the board with background and recommendations on information that should be included in manuscripts submitted to APA journals that report (a) new data collections and (b) meta-analyses. The JARS Group reviewed efforts in related fields to develop standards and sought input from other knowledgeable groups. The resulting recommendations contain (a) standards for all journal articles, (b) more specific standards for reports of studies with experimental manipulations or evaluations of interventions using research designs involving random or nonrandom assignment, and (c) standards for articles reporting meta-analyses. The JARS Group anticipated that standards for reporting other research designs (e.g., observational studies, longitudinal studies) would emerge over time. This report also (a) examines societal developments that have encouraged researchers to provide more details when reporting their studies, (b) notes important differences between requirements, standards, and recommendations for reporting, and (c) examines benefits and obstacles to the development and implementation of reporting standards.
