Note About Possible Bias Resulting When Under-Statisticized Studies Are Excluded from Meta-Analyses.

Stanley, Julian C.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v24 n1 p72-76 Spr 1987

This article illustrates how researchers can consider this aspect in computing statistics from their data. An illustration of how that can sometimes be done is presented. (Author/JAZ)
