Food cue reactivity and craving predict eating and weight gain: a meta-analytic review (2015, methodology): “Nevertheless, we decided to include them for several reasons: (i) such studies directly test for a predictive relationship between cue reactivity measures and food outcome and are therefore relevant to this meta-analysis, (ii) such beta coefficients are actually more conservative than r (123), (iii)”

Meta-analysis of Longitudinal Studies (2020, methodology): “However, Peterson and Brown showed that the conversion of beta coefficients into correlation coefficients was hardly affected by the number of covariates used in their sample of studies (Peterson & Brown, 2005).”
A Meta-analysis of Online Trust Relationships in E-commerce (2017, methodology): “Student's t and F ratios with one degree of freedom in the numerator were converted to r by means of formulas suggested by Hunter and Schmidt (2004), and standardized beta coefficients were converted to r by means of a heuristic procedure (Peterson and Brown 2005).
