My co-authors and I have also been working on i) comparing attenuation and publication biases, ii) disentangling p-hacking from publication bias, iii) designing external validity tests for meta-analyses, iv) gauging spurious precision across fields, and v) developing automatic replication tools for meta-analysis. Corresponding papers will be available soon.
