It was great fun working with Emerson on this paper. Meta-analysis has occupied a major portion of my research time over the past 15+ years. Many plant pathologists are now seeing the benefits of this approach to quantitative research synthesis.
Excited to share here our review on the use of meta-analysis in Plant Pathology. Now available open access in Plant Disease volume 108, number 11.
