How to Generate a Reviewer Appendix
Export reviewer-facing evidence about design, randomization, exclusions, and diagnostics.
The Short Version
Export reviewer-facing evidence about design, randomization, exclusions, and diagnostics. A practical way to begin is to fetch final responses, then apply exclusion rules. Finish by making sure you add citations and project-specific context. The full walkthrough below explains each part in order.

Common Questions
Can I use this guide if I am new to this?
Yes. Researchers responding to reviewers or preparing a transparent appendix. Follow the steps in order, start with a small test, and use the final checklist before you field or report anything important.
What is the simplest way to get started?
Begin by fetch final responses. Next, apply exclusion rules. You do not need to perfect every setting before running a small preview or pilot.
How do I know when I am ready?
Use the confidence check above. In particular: Include balance tables. Include randomization audit. Include exclusion counts. Include exact treatment wording. When the decision is consequential, keep your study documentation and ask a qualified colleague or methods reviewer to examine the design as well.
