I would like to know if anyone could recommend a book that deals more with the practical issues around conducting a meta-analysis?

Thanking you in advance

I asked this question last week and obtained two excellent answers. The question is readily accessible through links on your "meta-analysis" tag. Here's the URL:

  • I think it is better to put a comment and vote for closing the question. Indeed it may be a bit confusing to have an answer wich is a link to a question on the same site... I voted to close the question. – robin girard Aug 31 '10 at 07:38
  • @Robin: Thank you for the suggestion. I do not see how it would be any more or less confusing to place a link in an answer or a comment, though. I, too, have voted to close the question, but I first waited a day for the poster to respond to Shane's suggestion that this question be edited. – whuber Aug 31 '10 at 14:22

    my view is that answering a question is a step toward accepting it in the site. – robin girard Aug 31 '10 at 15:16
  • @Robin: Thank you; that makes sense and it's a principle that will help in future cases. – whuber Aug 31 '10 at 17:12

    Three years later, the issue has come up again via comments on [another duplicate](http://stats.stackexchange.com/q/80922/32036) :P See also [this meta-CV question on the broader issue](http://meta.stats.stackexchange.com/q/1867/32036). – Nick Stauner Dec 31 '13 at 12:04
