Botany360: Intros to Reviews and Meta-analysis

This free Botany360 event took place on November 7, 2022 and was hosted by AJB Reviews Editor, Kasey Barton. Writing reviews can be a great way to delve into a body of literature, synthesize evidence, identify new connections among topics/taxa, and identify knowledge gaps for future research. Deciding when a review is needed in a field or to answer a question is the first step. Deciding whether to pursue a quantitative review, such as meta-analysis, or an integrative review is the next step. In both cases, reproducible literature searches to compile the body of evidence is important. Inclusion criteria helps avoid meandering focus, and tests of publication bias provide check of reliability of the results. We'll introduce all of these concepts, providing references for further reading, answering questions about why or how to write a review, and hopefully, clarifying this approach as an important component of biological research.
