Current Methods for Meta-Analysis (2007, background): “, 2002), other estimators have been proposed and evaluated (Huedo-Medina, Sánchez-Meca, Marín-Martínez, & Botella, 2006; Viechtbauer, 2005), and new procedures to construct confidence intervals for the heterogeneity variance have recently been presented (Viechtbauer, 2007b).”
A re-evaluation of random-effects meta-analysis (2009, methodology): “Some methods allow quantification of uncertainty in the estimate, including a full likelihood approach to the meta-analysis (Hardy and Thompson, 1996), and a method based on a x2-distribution for a random-effects version of the Q-statistic (Viechtbauer, 2007; Knapp et al., 2006); Viechtbauer (2007) ”
Predictive distributions for between-study heterogeneity and simple methods for their application in Bayesian meta-analysis (2014, positive): “0, calculated using the Q-profile method [17]).”

Interactive Book Reading in Early Education: A Tool to Stimulate Print Knowledge as Well as Oral Language (2009, background): “Overall effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) around the point estimates were based on random effects models because such an approach is a conservative solution to deal with heterogeneity (Ioannidis, Patsopoulos, & Evangelou, 2007; Viechtbauer, 2007).”

Meta-analytic Reviews in the Organizational Sciences: Two Meta-analytic Schools on the Way to MARS (the Meta-analytic Reporting Standards) (2013, methodology): “In the H&S approach, the REVC is considered to be zero for practical purposes if 75 % or more of an effect size’s 8 We recommended the reporting confidence intervals for the metaanalytic mean effect size as well as the computation of the REVC and its confidence interval (Viechtbauer 2007).”
