Overview
Most methods of meta-analysis focus on describing and summarizing the results of studies in a research literature, but for Hunter (retired, psychology, Michigan State U.) and Schmidt (management and organization, U. of Iowa), the purpose of meta-analysis is to estimate what the results would have been had all the studies been conducted without methodological limitations or flaws. Since the 1990 edition, meta-analysis has become widely accepted and practiced, and their revision incorporates the new breadth. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OREditorials

"Methods of Meta-Analysis represents the best compilation to date on this relatively new method of statistically aggregating the results of large numbers of independently conducted social and behavioral science."Journal of the American Statistical Association
"The authors of the present text have been among the forceful and prolific advocates of meta-analysis. Both in the earlier edition and in the present, greatly expanded sequel, they argue persuasively that pre-meta-analytic views of research have seriously retarded the accumulation of knowledge in social science. The book makes important reading for meta-analysts and social scientists."Book Details
