DESCRIPTION:Evidence synthesis\, particularly meta-analysis\, is treated as
  a ‘gold standard’ of scientific evidence. It is relied upon to inform
  clinical treatments\, policy decisions\, and other real-world application
 s of research. However\, a meta-analysis is only as credible as the (least
  credible) primary studies that it includes. We argue that meta-analysis i
 s a prime opportunity for post-publication critique\, and indeed that such
  critical appraisal is necessary for valid meta-analyses. In the field of 
 psychology\, the replication crisis demonstrated that even studies publish
 ed in influential journals are more likely to contain false positives\, qu
 estionable research practices\, and fraud than previously assumed. It is t
 herefore crucial that primary studies are critically evaluated before they
  are included in a meta-analysis. We present an in-progress project evalua
 ting the quality of primary studies included in published meta-analyses.
