• Describe the data analysis method(s) used. • Evaluate the appropriateness of the data analysis method (hint:

focus on the extent to which it addressed the research questions and the limitations of the method).

• Provide a perspective on the amount of detail provided by the researcher (hint: focus on statistical assumption tests, discussion of data issues and cleaning (e.g., missing values and outliers), criteria for assessing statistical significance, conclusions are aligned with the statistical results).

• Assess the reproducibility of the study.
