2 Getting Started

To run a meta-analysis in R there are various packaages you could use. This workshop is going to work with the ‘metafor’ package but you could equally use others (e.g. ‘Robumeta’).

To get started let’s install and load the ‘metafor’ package.

# install metafor package
install.packages("metafor")

# load metafor package
library(metafor)
