Meta-analysis is rapidly becoming the gold-standard for conducting integrative literature reviews. To better understand the role of meta-analysis scholarship in social work, we analyzed publication patterns of meta-analysis across five disciplines: family studies, nursing, psychology, psychiatry, and social work. The frequency and proportion of published meta-analytic studies, critiques of particular meta-analytic studies, and articles discussing meta-analysis methodology were calculated by coding articles from the 10 highest impact journals within each discipline across a 24-year period. All disciplines are increasingly publishing meta-analysis scholarship, though social work lags behind in publishing and commenting on published meta-analyses. Implications are discussed for promoting and strengthening social work's ability to effectively produce and benefit from meta-analytic research
