The present work disseminates a solid scientific meta-analysis method to investigate the impact of storage duration and temperature on vitamin C of citrus. This work is initiated by designing of the PICO framework, collecting, and organizing the articles, creating selection criteria, sorting articles, identifying factors influencing moderation effects and sources of diversity, tabulating data, and employing analysis in the form of a linear mixed model. Using this method, we identified 54 distinct studies from a pool of 289 eligible peer-reviewed publications, focusing on variations of vitamin C in citrus. The method provides mean values in both quadratic and linear regression forms.•This method provides a detailed description starting from topic selection to statistical methodologies intended for performing meta-analysis.•All guidelines for conducting this method have been approved by all authors and adhere to the standard PRISMA-P guidelines.•Disseminating this method in a peer-reviewed publication aims to facilitate scholarly discussions and promote transparency, ultimately improving the standard for performing meta-analysis on vitamin C levels in citrus concerning various genotypes, storage temperatures, and durations.
