Statistics and meta-analysis
Work in progress — ActiLab is a young project: new tools and content are added regularly.
Free knowledge, free software, and courses for systematic reviews and meta-analysis.
ActiLab brings together everything a researcher needs for meta-analysis, the gold standard for reliable quantitative synthesis across medicine, psychology, economics, education, ecology, and beyond. And your data always stays private!
What you'll find here
- Meta-analysis — what a systematic review / meta-analysis is, glossary, and references. Start here if you are new to the topic.
- Software — free, open-source browser apps for meta-analysis.
- Data & Security — why your research data stays with you, not with ActiLab.
- Academy — courses on meta-analysis and systematic reviews, with certificates.
ActiLab's software is a free, open-source alternative to tools built to harvest researchers' data: everything runs in your browser and never reaches an external server — see Data & Security for what that means in practice. For those who want to go deeper, the Academy offers in-depth, certified courses that go beyond quick tutorials to build lasting, professional-grade expertise.
