alterlab-ieu Bundle

Free, key-less ResearchRabbit analog — builds a citation and co-citation graph around one or more seed papers using the OpenAlex API. Walks both directions of the citation network (works the seed cites and works that cite the seed), ranks the discovered neighbourhood by co-citation strength and bibliographic coupling to surface the papers most central to a topic's literature, and exports the network as GraphML (Gephi / Cytoscape / yEd) and JSON. Use when mapping a literature landscape, finding seminal or highly co-cited papers from a seed DOI, snowballing a reference network, building a citation map / co-citation analysis, or visualizing how a research area's papers connect — no API key required (polite mailto only). Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Scaffolds Turkish human-subjects etik kurul (ethics committee) applications and routes a study to the correct committee using the TR Dizin/ULAKBIM 2020 trigger rule: survey, interview, focus-group, observation, or experiment data collection requires a university Girisimsel Olmayan Etik Kurulu (non-interventional committee); drug, device, cosmetic, stem-cell, or BA-BE clinical studies also require a TITCK-approved Klinik Arastirmalar Etik Kurulu plus a separate TITCK permit. Generates bilingual (TR/EN) Etik Kurul Basvuru Formu, basvuru dilekcesi (cover petition), and Bilgilendirilmis Gonullu Olur Formu (informed consent), and lints a consent draft against the TITCK 2023 minimum-content checklist. Use when the user needs a Turkish etik kurul basvurusu, an onam/olur (consent) formu, asks which ethics committee a study requires, or needs TITCK approval guidance. For non-Turkey IRB/Belmont/GDPR use alterlab-research-ethics; for KVKK data plans use alterlab-kvkk-dmp. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Runs quantitative meta-analysis — computes effect sizes (Hedges' g / standardized mean difference, log odds/risk ratios) with their variances, pools them under fixed-effect and random-effects models, quantifies heterogeneity (I-squared, tau-squared, Cochran's Q), draws forest and funnel plots, and tests publication bias (Egger's regression, trim-and-fill) — using statsmodels.stats.meta_analysis in Python or the field-standard R metafor via Rscript. It enforces PRISMA reporting and the random- vs fixed-effect decision. Use when pooling effect sizes across studies, running a systematic review's quantitative synthesis, or assessing heterogeneity and publication bias.

Routes a social-science study to its research design — true experiment, quasi-experiment (difference-in-differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, interrupted time series, fixed effects), observational/correlational, qualitative, or mixed — by walking the random-selection and random-assignment decisions, then PINS the identifying assumption the causal claim will rest on (parallel trends, exclusion restriction, continuity at the cutoff, selection-on-observables, or qualitative saturation logic) before any analysis begins. Use when choosing a study design, asking what design to use, framing a causal question from observational data, or deciding experiment vs quasi-experiment vs observational. For executing the analysis prefer alterlab-statistical-analysis; for qualitative design depth prefer alterlab-qualitative-methods; for choosing the statistical test downstream prefer alterlab-test-selection-guard.
