Doing Meta‑Analysis Step by Step: From Data Extraction to Evidence Synthesis

Activity: Talk or presentationOral presentation

Description

Meta-analysis is a quantitative approach for synthesizing findings from independent
studies to estimate pooled effects and describe between-study variation. It improves
precision by correcting sampling error and weighting study-level effect sizes by the
inverse of their sampling variance. This talk provides a practical walk-through of
conducting a meta-analysis in business and management. We begin with search strategy and data extraction from Web of Science and Scopus, followed by coding study characteristics and calculating effect sizes. I will demonstrate a lightweight web tool (metaHUN) that supports effect-size calculation, forest and funnel plots, and cumulative meta-analysis, and show how to implement random-effects models in R (metafor). We will address heterogeneity using Q, I², and τ², and assess publication bias using Egger’s regression, Kendall’s rank correlation (Begg–Mazumdar), and Rosenthal’s fail-safe N.
