Having surveyed the history and methods of meta-regression in a previous paper, in this paper, we review which and how meta-regression methods are applied in recent research syntheses. To do so, we reviewed studies published in 2016 across four leading research synthesis journals: Psychological Bulletin, the Journal of Applied Psychology, Review of Educational Research, and the Cochrane Library. We find that the best practices defined in the previous review are rarely carried out in practice. In light of the identified discrepancies, we consider how to move forward, first by identifying areas where further methods development is needed to address persistent problems in the field and second by discussing how to more effectively disseminate points of methodological consensus.
在前一篇论文中调查了元回归的历史和方法之后，在本文中，我们回顾了最近的研究综合中应用了哪些以及如何应用元回归方法。为此，我们回顾了 2016 年在四个领先的研究综合期刊上发表的研究：《心理学公报》、《应用心理学杂志》、《教育研究评论》和《 Cochrane 图书馆》。我们发现，前一篇评论中定义的最佳实践在实践中很少得到执行。鉴于已经确定的差异，我们考虑如何向前发展，首先是确定需要进一步开发方法的领域，以解决该领域的持续问题，其次是讨论如何更有效地传播方法共识的要点。
