James C. Coyne is somewhat of a renegade in psychology. He's an established researcher who isn't afraid to criticise others.

Here's his latest blog post.

It is quite long and technical so most people may prefer not to read it.

However, I'm far from an expert on meta-analyses and systematic reviews so I found it useful to learn/revise on issues/problems that there can be in such reviews.
