From January 16^th to 17th, we hosted a workshop on systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses. The event attracted participants from various disciplines within the social sciences as well as the medical sciences. Distinguished speakers addressing systematic reviews featured Andranik Tumasjan and Christian Wilke from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. In the realm of meta-analyses, we were honored to have Eric Hedberg (Abt Associates) and Larry Hedges from Northwestern University as our guest speakers. Larry Hedges, in particular, stands out as one of the key figures shaping the contemporary field of meta-analysis.
