• Would Border Carbon Adjustments Prevent Carbon Leakage and Heavy Industry Competitiveness Losses? Insights From a Meta-Analysis of Recent Economic Studies (2014, neutral): “Statistical techniques to take this bias into account exist (Stanley, 2005; Rothstein et al., 2006) but only for statistical studies.”
• Revisiting the file drawer problem in meta‐analysis: An assessment of published and nonpublished correlation matrices. (2012, background): “…meta-analytic literature reflects an enduring and ubiquitous concern regarding the universality and consequences of the file drawer phenomenon on the synthesis of research (Borenstein et al., 2009; Howard et al., 2009; McDaniel, Rothstein, & Whetzel, 2006; Rothstein et al., 2005; Sutton, 2009).”
• Determinants of Entrepreneurial Intent: A Meta–Analytic Test and Integration of Competing Models (2012, result): “Finally, it has often been pointed out that published sources often report results that are statistically significant, resulting in a publication bias whereby reported studies differ from other studies (Rosenthal, 1979; Rothstein et al., 2005).”
• Not So Subtle (2016, background): “Rothstein, Sutton, and Borenstein (2005) suggested that confidence in the robustness and validity of meta-analytic findings is related to the extent to which publication bias affects the results of the study.”
• Grain legume-cereal intercropping enhances the use of soil-derived and biologically fixed nitrogen in temperate agroecosystems. A meta-analysis (2020, neutral): “Some of the possible reasons for this bias may be due to a small number of studies included in the analysis but also due to the preferential publication of signi fi cant results compared to non-sig-ni fi cant results (Rothstein et al., 2006; Makowski et al., 2019)”
• Religion, Delinquency, and Drug Use (2015, background): “Rothstein, Sutton, and Borenstein (2006) suggest that limiting empirical research to peer-reviewed studies has the potential to bias the results.”
