"1. List the steps involved with meta-analysis 2. Evaluate the steps that are involved with meta-analysis"

1. Steps involved with meta - analysis
* State hypothesis.
* Locate the studies.
* Input informations.
* Calculate effect sizes.
* Analysing variables.
2. Evaluvation of steps involved in meta - analysis.
* Meta analysis is a method of integrating quantitative research findings statistically.
* In this analysis selecting studies with similar variables and population samples then
identifying and coding study characterstics and finally analysing statistically to report
findings in the meta analysis study.
* Generally five steps involved in conducting meta -analysis.
* State hypothesis.
* In initial stage there must be a well defined statement of the relationship
between the variables under investigation so that the the researcher can
define the inclusion and exclusion criteria during locating potential studies.
when evauating check the hypothesis is properly defind.
* Locate the studies
* In this step evaluate the meta analysis is informative or not by checking the
analysis for identify whether it is adequately summerise the existing literature
or not.
* Input information
* In this step evaluator should check the fact that a particular study provide
suffcient statistical information to calculate the effect size statistics.
* Calculate effect sizes
* In this step evaluate the issues which occur during calculation of effects
like sample bias,central tendancy,heterogenicity etc.
* Analysing variables
* In this step evaluate the moderating variables to identify if the variable account for
the difference in the effect size.
