Meta-analysis, as an essential research tool, has been widely applied in various scientific fields such as medicine, management, education, and psychology. With the continuous development of statistical techniques, traditional meta-analysis has gradually derived a large number of advanced research methods. To help researchers and practitioners promptly capture and comprehend the current state of meta-analysis, it aims to comprehensively explore the principles, applications, and latest developments of meta-analysis. First, the fundamental principles, historical development and operational procedures of traditional meta-analysis was extensively examined. Secondly, advanced research methods derived from traditional meta-analysis was deeply discussed, including Multilevel meta-analysis, meta-analytic structural equation modeling, second-order meta-analysis, causal based meta-analysis and replication research. Finally, the significance and limitations of meta-analysis in scientific research was discussed. In sum, it provides researchers with a comprehensive overview of the meta-analysis, helps researchers identify its development trends and potential problems, and further aims at improving the method to adapt to changing research needs.
