A head start in higher education: the effect of a transition intervention on interaction, sense of belonging, and academic performance (2020, background): “An ES (Cohen’s d) of about .10 is considered a small effect, an ES of about .30 a medium effect, and an ES of .50 or higher a large effect (Field and Hole 2002).”
A Systematic Review on the Practice of Evaluating Visualization (2013, background): “For controlled laboratory studies with participants there are various sources that give advice on how to report them (e. g., [18]).”
Learning analytics should not promote one size fits all: The effects of instructional conditions in predicting academic success (2016, methodology): “The study followed a correlational (non ‐ experimental) design (Field & Hole, 2003), as it investigated the effects of the variables derived from the trace data and the data from the institutional student information system on the prediction of students’ academic success.”
Advertising Repetition: A Meta-Analysis on Effective Frequency in Advertising (2015, background): “Therefore, the generalizability of these findings to real-world settings is somewhat limited, because experimental studies allow for better control of confounding effects and tend to lead to stronger effect sizes (Field and Hole (2002).”

Brand personality: A meta-analytic review of antecedents and consequences (2013, background): “…1 = experimental (35 samples) Experimental designs allow for more control and should lead to stronger effects compared with surveys (e.g., Field and Hole 2003) Manuscript status Captures whether the paper has appeared in an academic journal; provided by each study 0 = unpublished (13 samples), 1…”
Evaluating the impact of viewing location on view perception using a virtual environment (2020, methodology): “The questions were randomised across the three conditions to eliminate any bias in subjective responses [93].”

Visualization analysis & design (2015, neutral): “Experiment Design For lab studies, my current favorite references for experiment design and analysis are a cogent and accessible recent monograph [Hornbaek 13], a remarkably witty book [Field and Hole 03], and a new textbook with many examples featuring visualization [Purchase 12].”
