Hello all,
I am a budding researcher with a working knowledge of biostatistics. I wish to conduct a meta-analysis for one of my reviews but am overwhelmed with the online articles. Kindly, I wish to know if any online course/workshop on doing it is available?
I belong to the field of Child and Adolescent Psychological Science.
Hi,
Enrol in courses conducted by COCHRANE.org. it gives you examples and stepwise training.
Hello Iyer Kamlam Gopalkrishnan ,
Please consider this wonderful ~15 hour Coursera course from Johns Hopkins by two instructors who are also leading affiliates from the Cochrane Collaboration: https://www.coursera.org/learn/systematic-review. As you have experience in and knowledge of biostatistics, you will really appreciate the mathematics part of the endeavor especially with regards to fixed effects versus random effects models.
Aedrian Abrilla Thanks a lot for a good lead in this matter!
Dear Kamlam
We teach a course in the second semester of this year but it is in Spanish
Mabel Brunotto Thank you for your kind response, but I am looking for material/instruction in English only.
I found it easier to learn with these two reads.
The Cochrane handbook of systematic reviews and meta-analysis
https://training.cochrane.org/handbook/current
This is a book that teaches how to do meta-analysis in R and it comes with exercises and datasets included.

You could also look at the training from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) in Adelaide. They offer a lot of training for a fee - for information see: https://jbi.global/
They also have a lot of information on YouTube that can be very useful. Just search YouTube for Joanna Briggs.
