The current literature on meta-analysis (a small collection) all assume a certain level of knowledge, and concentrate solely on the advanced issues. This text allows readers with no previous experience of meta-analysis to grasp its techniques, and utilise them with a hands-on, interactive approach. Born from the teachings of a popular meta-analysis course, the text will start with the explanation of basic concepts and will present a concise, clear discussion of all elements in meta-analysis. Many points are explained visually by using screenshots from Excel spreadsheets and computer programs such as Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) or Stata. Readers will also be encouraged to work through examples on their own using these programs, instructional versions of which willbe provided by the books website. Consequently this introductory text, written in an exceptionally clear style, would be ideal both for courses on meta-analysis, and for readers wanting to learn about it on their own.
