metapsyData

The metapsyData package can be installed from GitHub (for example using the remotes package).

The package allows to access the Metapsy meta-analytic psychotherapy databases directly in your R environment. Once installed, simply use the getData() function to save specific databases and database versions locally.

Once new databases or database updates are released, they automatically become available in metapsyData.
