This book aims to make familiar current methods and standards for research synthesis. It describes systematic reviews and meta-analyses, with numerous examples relevant to social work practice and policy.

The book is organized according to the steps involved in conducting a meta-analysis within a systematic review.
Keywords: systematic review, meta-analysis, research synthesis, evidence-based practice
