Dataset documentation
Dataset & Codebook
Definitions and raw coding for all 74 variables in the final 6,202-record publication-level dataset.
Missing data
not_classified remains an explicit analytical category and is never silently removed.
Non-exclusive coding
Populations, funders, concepts and themes use separate binary indicators; one publication may have several codes.
Funding interpretation
A zero in funding_reported means that funding was not reported, not that the study was necessarily unfunded.
