Reporting Guidelines for Meta‐Analysis in Economics—Updated for AI
经济学研究网络MAER‐Net更新了元分析报告指南，要求研究者在使用或不使用AI时遵循最新最佳实践，以提高透明度、可复制性和质量。
ABSTRACT Meta‐analysis is how science takes stock of its vast research output. The advent of increasingly capable artificial intelligence (AI) promises an unprecedented ability to identify and synthesize relevant research and its findings. In this document, the meta‐analysis of economics research network (MAER‐Net) updates existing Reporting Guidelines to be consistent with community‐driven best practices for the responsible use and disclosure of AI‐assistance in meta‐analysis research. This update is meant to further improve the transparency, replicability, and quality of meta‐analyses by building upon the 2020 and 2013 Reporting Guidelines published by this Journal. Cook et al. (2026) describe the guiding principles behind the update. Future meta‐analyses, whether or not they use AI, are expected to follow these updated guidelines or to be prepared to give reasons if they deviate from them.
