A Note on Cherry-Picking in Meta-Analyses

Entropy, 2023
We study selection bias in meta-analyses by assuming the presence of researchers (meta-analysts) who intentionally or unintentionally cherry-pick a subset of studies by defining arbitrary inclusion and/or exclusion criteria that will lead to their ...

The role of research in viral disease eradication and elimination programs: Lessons for malaria eradication [PDF]

, 2011
By examining the role research has played in eradication or regional elimination initiatives for three viral diseases-smallpox, poliomyelitis, and measles-we derive nine cross-cutting lessons applicable to malaria eradication.
