My broad specialism is methods for systematising reviewing for social research. There are two main strands within this theme: developing and testing synthesis methods, with a particular interest in quantitative synthesis including statistical meta-analysis, and evaluating the use of emerging text mining techniques for facilitating the production of systematic reviews. I also have an interest in applying secondary data analysis methods, including complex and multilevel modelling. My substantive interests primarily relate to social psychology, education, and public health.
