Meta-analysis of institutional-economic factors explaining the environmental performance of payments for watershed services (2011, methodology): “It is a method of synthesizing the results of multiple studies that examine the same phenomenon through the identification of a common effect, which is then explained using regression techniques in a meta-regression model (Nelson & Kennedy 2009).”
