Urban heat-mitigation knowledge transferability review: reproducibility materials

Description

This repository contains the curated data and supporting reproducibility materials for a systematic evidence map and critical conceptual synthesis of knowledge transferability in urban heat-mitigation research. The review examines what types of knowledge generated in one urban context may be transferable to another, the boundary conditions that constrain transfer, and the extent to which transferability has been explicitly tested in the existing literature. The deposited materials include: (1) the curated publication-level analytical dataset used for the synthesis; (2) the supporting evidence inventory; (3) source data used to generate the manuscript figures; (4) documentation of the literature-search, screening, retrieval and study-flow procedures; and (5) a README describing the repository contents and relevant data fields. The files support verification of the reported corpus counts, study classifications, evidence distributions, transferability assessments, boundary-condition synthesis and descriptive figures presented in the associated review. The analytical data are derived from published literature and were curated and coded specifically for this study. Copyrighted full-text articles are not redistributed in this repository; bibliographic information is provided to identify the underlying publications. The repository is intended to facilitate transparency, reproducibility and subsequent research on the transferability of urban heat-mitigation knowledge across climatic, morphological, methodological and institutional contexts.

Steps to reproduce

1. Read UHI_Publication_Data_README.txt for an overview of the deposited files. 2. Use UHI_Publication_Data_Curated_20260806.xlsx as the principal curated publication-level dataset underlying the review synthesis. 3. Use UHI_Supplementary_Evidence_Inventory_Revision5_20260806.xlsx to examine the supporting study inventory and the evidence classifications used in the review. 4. Use UHI_Supplementary_Methods_Search_Flow_Automation_Revision10_20260806.xlsx to inspect the documented literature-search, record-processing, screening/retrieval and study-flow information supporting the review methodology. 5. Use UHI_Figure_Data_Revision7_20260806.xlsx to reproduce or verify the numerical values underlying the analytical figures reported in the manuscript. 6. Recalculate descriptive counts and percentages from the relevant coded fields using the denominators specified in the accompanying worksheets. Because several study characteristics and mitigation strategies are multi-label, category totals should not necessarily be expected to sum to the total number of studies. 7. Compare the resulting counts and distributions with the corresponding tables, figures and descriptive results in the associated manuscript. Note: No copyrighted full-text publications are required to use the deposited analytical dataset. Verification of individual coded judgments against source articles requires access to the cited publications through their original publishers or lawful open-access sources.
