Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? The predictive role of metacognitive strategies is more prominent in English (L2) writing than in Chinese (L1) writing. → Wandong Xu 2024
