I have never conducted a meta analysis before, so I was wondering how to approach it.
Let's say I wanted to look a how a specific metric has evolved over the past 20 years, for example the reported polymer molecular weight for the highest tensile strength (the question here is arbitrary). Any pointers to how I one would go about that? Seems pretty straight forward to brute force it, albeit very time consuming.
Any help would be appreciated.
Get formal training in how to conduct a systematic review and carry out a meta-analysis. You will be wasting your time otherwise. The systematic review is actually the most important part. If you do a bad systematic review, your meta-analysis will also be bad. An alternative is to recruit a person with expertise in doing a systematic review and meta-analysis. This option may be your best. If the person also understands your area of research, that is even better.
