User manual for Meta-Essentials: Workbooks for meta-analyses

markdownabstractMeta-Essentials is a set of workbooks that facilitate the integration and synthesis of effect sizes from different studies and provide figures, tables, and statistics that might be helpful for interpreting them. Meta-Essentials generates (“overall” or “meta”) statistical information regarding a set of studies of the same phenomenon based on the statistical information from each separate study. The workbooks and a pdf-version of this user manual can be downloaded from [meta-essentials](http://www.erim.eur.nl/research-support/meta-essentials).
