“Michael Borenstein is the master of accessible and accurate explanations. Thank you, Michael, for drawing on your vast experience mentoring thousands of people around the globe, to produce this book for us. Its value is immense. It is my hope that all scholars undertaking research synthesis will have this book by their side.”

“This book should be required reading for anyone conducting or planning to conduct a meta-analysis. By highlighting some of the most common mistakes that occur in meta-analyses, readers will learn how to avoid perpetuating those mistakes and ensure their meta-analyses are conducted and interpreted appropriately. This book should also be of great interest to researchers, policymakers, and practitioners who wish to be informed consumers of meta-analyses.”
