**The files on this website accompany a paper about Practical Recommendations to Increase the Informational Value of Studies (Lakens, & Evers, in press, Perspectives on Psychological Science). A pre-print is available under 'Files'. The step by step guides explain how to calculate the v-statistic (Davis-Stober & Dana, 2013) and how to perform sequential analyses in R or using the dedicated siftware WinDL. The spreadsheet facilitates performing some necessary calculations. An effect size conversion spreadsheet is provided to calculate effect sizes from reported test statistics in the published literature (for a practical primer, see Lakens, 2013).**
