Meta-Analysis: Quantitative Methods for Research Synthesis

by Frederic M. Wolf, Richard G. Niemi (Introduction)

Meta-Analysis shows concisely, yet comprehensively, how to apply statistical methods to achieve a literature review of a common research domain. It demonstrates the use of combined tests and measures of effect size to synthesize quantitatively the results of independent studies for both group differences and correlations. Strengths and weaknesses of alternative approaches, as well as of meta-analysis in general, are presented.

As per usual with Sage series, this is a quick and dirty not a detailed tome. It is also a touch dated being from the 80s references are old and newness has worn off. The basics are still there though and it serves as a good primer before moving on to more in depth texts.
