It can arise from selective publication of favorable results, or of statistically significant results. This threatens the validity of conclusions drawn from reviews of published scientific research.  \u003cp\u003eMeta-analysis is now used in numerous scientific disciplines, summarizing quantitative evidence from multiple studies. If the literature being synthesised has been affected by publication bias, this in turn biases the meta-analytic results, potentially producing overstated conclusions. \u003ci\u003ePublication Bias in Meta-Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e examines the different types of publication bias, and presents the methods for estimating and reducing publication bias, or eliminating it altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by leading experts, adopting a practical and multidisciplinary approach.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProvides comprehensive coverage of the topic including:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDifferent types of publication bias,\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMechanisms that may induce them,\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmpirical evidence for their existence,\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStatistical methods to address them,\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWays in which they can be avoided.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures worked examples and common data sets throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains and compares all available software used for analysing and reducing publication bias.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccompanied by a website featuring software, data sets and further material.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublication Bias in Meta-Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e adopts an inter-disciplinary approach and will make an excellent reference volume for any researchers and graduate students who conduct systematic reviews or meta-analyses.
