    El meta-análisis es una metodología esencial que permite a los investigadores sintetizar la evidencia científica disponible sobre una determinada cuestión de investigación. Debido a su amplia aplicabilidad en la mayoría de los campos de investigación aplicados, es realmente importante que los meta-análisis se escriban y se reporten de manera apropiada. En este artículo proponemos pautas para reportar los resultados de un metaanálisis en una revista científica como Anales de Psicología. Concretamente, se detalla la estructura para reportar un meta-análisis siguiendo sus fases.

    Además, proporcionamos recomendaciones relacionadas con las tareas usuales en meta-análisis. Un meta-análisis reciente centrado en el campo de la psicología es usado para ilustrar las guías propuestas. Finalmente, presentamos algunas observaciones finales.

    Meta-analysis is an essential methodology that allows researchers to synthesize the scientific evidence available on a given research question.

    Due to its wide applicability in most applied research fields, it is really important that meta-analyses be written and reported appropriately. In this paper we propose some guidelines to report the results of a metaanalysis in a scientific journal as Annals of Psychology. Concretely, the structure for reporting a meta-analysis following its different stages is detailed.

    In addition, some recommendations related to the usual tasks when conducting a meta-analysis are provided. A recent meta-analysis focused on the psychological field is used to illustrate the guidelines proposed. Finally, some concluding remarks are presented
