Meta-analysis: A Bibliography of Conceptual Issues and Statistical Methods.
Preiss, Raymond W.
The usefulness of meta-analysis in summarizing domains of primary research has led to widespread use of the techniques. Often, however, the researcher will have several options when cumulating empirical studies and readers will have questions regarding judgment calls made during a meta-analysis. In these cases, it is helpful to consult the primary literature on meta-analytic theory and practice. Reported here are over 160 articles and papers divided into two bibliographies: (1) conceptual issues; and (2) statistical issues. The bibliographies are discussed in terms of conducting a meta-analysis and teaching research methods. Both bibliographies trace the evolution of meta-analytic procedures in order to highlight the intellectual dialog surrounding the practice. The bibliography as a whole may prove valuable to teachers of graduate and undergraduate research methods courses, and may be used as a teaching tool by alerting students to the conceptual similarities of diverse statistical methods.
