It is widespread in life sciences and is gaining popularity in economics and beyond. In many real-life meta-analyses, challenges in the source information, such as unreported statistics or biases, can be incorporated using Bayesian methods. \u003cem\u003eBayesian Meta-Analysis: A Practical Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e provides an approachable introduction for researchers who are new to Bayes, meta-analysis, or both.
