Description

Various open-repository concepts have been developed to improve the accessibility, reproducibility, and timeliness of research syntheses. One such concept, community-augmented meta-analysis (CAMA), aims to keep meta-analyses up-to-date by allowing the research community to contribute and continuously include new evidence. In 2021, the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID) released the first version of a web-based platform, PsychOpen CAMA, which enables this new publication format in psychological research. This contribution presents a primer on how to conduct a CAMA with PsychOpen CAMA, using as an exemplary illustration 6 large-scale, “living” meta-analyses on the Dark Triad of personality (k = 400+ effect sizes each), focusing on trait interrelations as well as on sex differences regarding the 3 traits Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. In addition, we provide insights into the implementation process of a CAMA in PsychOpen CAMA, including data curation, aggregation, and using web-based analysis tools. Finally, we derive and discuss possibilities and benefits for data contributors, as well as for users of “living” meta-analyses in PsychOpen CAMA.
