MAER-Net Reporting Guidelines & Practioner's Guide
Reporting Guidelines 2020: To further improve the transparency and replicability of the reported results and to raise the quality of meta‐analyses, the Meta‐Analysis of Economics Research Network has updated the reporting guidelines after our 2018 MAER-Net Colloquium, which we hope all will follow.
Practionier's guide to modern meta-analysis 2023: This paper provides concise, nontechnical, step-by-step guidelines on how to conduct a modern meta-analysis, especially in social sciences.
Meta-Regression Analysis in Economics and Business Textbook
The purpose of this book is to introduce novice researchers to the tools of meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis and to summarize the state of the art for existing practitioners. Meta-regression analysis addresses the rising "Tower of Babel" that current economics and business research has become. Meta-analysis is the statistical analysis of previously published, or reported, research findings on a given hypothesis, empirical effect, phenomenon, or policy intervention. It is a systematic review of all the relevant scientific knowledge on a specific subject and is an essential part of the evidence-based practice movement in medicine, education and the social sciences. However, research in economics and business is often fundamentally different from what is found in the sciences and thereby requires different methods for its synthesis — meta-regression analysis. This book develops, summarizes, and applies these meta-analytic methods.

Bulletin of Economics and Meta-Analysis
The purpose of the Bulletin of Economics and Meta-Analysis (BEMA) is to provide a forum for recent meta-analyses in economics, to publish fresh research quickly, and thereby to improve the quality of meta-analytic research before it is submitted to traditional scholarly journals. We seek to publish, electronically, short notes and longer abstracts that briefly sketch recent research about meta-analysis or that employs meta-analysis. It is assumed that all notes submitted will contain links to longer working papers. Authors wishing to have their notes considered for publication in BEMA should submit them for review to: stanley@hendrix.edu.
Contributions must be 500 words or less, include the internet link to a more complete working paper, and contain the author's e-mail address.
