Research Synthesis Methods is a quarterly peer-reviewed multidisciplinary scientific journal covering all aspects of research methods as they have been applied to research synthesis. It was established in 2010 and is published by John Wiley & Sons on behalf of the Society for Research Synthesis Methodology, of which it is the official journal. The founding editors-in-chief were Christopher Schmid (Brown University) and Mark Lipsey (Vanderbilt University),[1] and the current ones are Tasha Beretvas (University of Texas at Austin) and Ian Shrier (Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research). According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2017 impact factor of 3.218, ranking it 7th out of 59 journals in the category "Mathematical & Computational Biology"[2] and 14th out of 64 journals in the category "Multidisciplinary Sciences".[3]
Despite the journal's stated inclusive disciplinary scope, commentators have noted that articles published in the journal tend to be focused on quantitative forms of research synthesis, such as meta-analysis, and to adopt a positivist perspective on the practice of research synthesis.[4][5]
