The book *Publication Bias in Meta-analysis: Prevention, Assessment and Adjustments* edited by Rothstein, Sutton, and Borenstein (2005) addresses the issue of publication bias in meta-analyses. Publication bias occurs when studies with statistically significant results are more likely to be published, leading to an overestimation of the true effect size. The book provides a comprehensive overview of various forms of publication bias, its existence, extent, causes, and consequences. It includes chapters written by leading experts in research synthesis, covering topics such as statistical techniques for detecting and adjusting for publication bias. The book uses standardized notation and common examples to illustrate methods, and includes datasets and an annotated bibliography for replication. While the focus is primarily on the medical literature, the book aims to address publication bias across various disciplines. The authors emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing publication bias to ensure the reliability of research findings.The book *Publication Bias in Meta-analysis: Prevention, Assessment and Adjustments* edited by Rothstein, Sutton, and Borenstein (2005) addresses the issue of publication bias in meta-analyses.
