Meditation Programs for Psychological Stress and Well-being: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis, Madhav Goyal and colleagues' 2014 paper in JAMA Internal Medicine, is a peer reviewed systematic review and meta-analysis finding moderate evidence that mindfulness meditation programs improve psychological stress and well being outcomes, and low or insufficient evidence for mantra meditation programs specifically. Its authority rests on the systematic review methodology, aggregating results across many individual trials, and publication in a leading peer reviewed medical journal. Its limit is that it summarizes the evidence available at the time of the review and the specific outcome measures those trials used. Cite it for this specific empirical finding.
