Mark W. Lipsey is the Director of the Center for Evaluation
Research and Methodology, and a Senior Research Associate, at the
Vanderbilt Institute for Public Policy Studies (Ph.D. in Psychology
from The Johns Hopkins University in 1972). His professional
interests are in the areas of public policy, program evaluation
research, social intervention, field research methodology, and
research synthesis (meta-analysis). The topics of his recent
research have been risk and intervention for juvenile delinquency
and substance use, early childhood education programs, and issues
of methodological quality in program evaluation research. Professor
Lipsey serves on the editorial boards of Evaluation and Program
Planning, Psychological Bulletin, the Journal of Experimental
Criminology, and the American Journal of Community Psychology, and
boards or committees of, among others, the National Research
Council, the Department of Education What Works Clearinghouse,
Campbell Collaboration, and Blueprints for Violence Prevention. He
is a recipient of the American Evaluation Association’s Paul
Lazarsfeld Award, the Society of Prevention Research’s Nan Tobler
Award, a Fellow of the American Psychological Society, and
co-author of the program evaluation textbook, Evaluation: A
Systematic Approach and the meta-analysis primer, Practical
Meta-Analysis.
"A book that describes the steps involved in a meta-analysis in an
easy-to-understand format (not just as a cookbook recipe) will be a
useful addition to the literature. Practical Meta-Analysis aptly
fills this niche."
