Atkinson, Kayla M.; Koenka, Alison C.; Sanchez, Carmen E.; Moshontz, Hannah; Cooper, Harris – Research Synthesis Methods, 2015
A complete description of the literature search, including the criteria used for the inclusion of reports after they have been located, used in a research synthesis or meta-analysis is critical if subsequent researchers are to accurately evaluate and reproduce a synthesis' methods and results. Based on previous guidelines and new suggestions, we…
