Appendix F. Pairwise significance tests between year blocks for all metrics analyzed.
Table F1. Pairwise comparisons of means by false discovery rate-adjusted alpha for significant differences between year blocks (decades) for each significant term of complexity and scale. Difference is mean difference (log scale) between studies from the respective pairwise comparison, along with lower and upper intervals. p < 0.05 considered significant.
