In the last few years I’ve been trying to try and quantitatively summarize the literature by conducting pre-registered meta-analysis systematic reviews of the literature of the domains I am involved in.
Through this process it became clear that we need better tools and templates to promote open reproducible meta-analyses, and that it is important to try and conduct those through Registered Reports.
I am involved in several initiatives and lead several others all aimed to improve best practices in meta-analyses.
Initiatives:
- Collaborative Meta analysis syllabus (also see my meta-analysis workshop materials)
- NIRO Systematic Reviews
- Inclusive Systematic Review Registration Form / Google Doc (adding meta pre-reg to OSF)
We’ve developed the following resources:
- Experimental Meta-Analysis Registered Report Template: Main manuscript
- Experimental Meta-Analysis Registered Report Template: Supplementary
- Correlational Meta-Analysis Registered Report Template: Main manuscript (soon)
- Correlational Meta-Analysis Registered Report Template: Supplementary (soon)
