Abstract:	Ingram Olkin is one of the key contributors to and founders of the field of statistical methods for research synthesis, also known as meta-analysis. In addition, Olkin and just a few others have done nearly all of the work to date on multivariate methods for meta-analysis. I will review some of the fundamental work done by Olkin, concerning multivariate effect-size data and multiple correlations (correlation matrices). Drawing on Olkin's work I will then present new analyses for multivariate synthesis of correlations and regression slopes. Tests of between-groups differences and "meta-regression" methods will be outlined. The indispensability of Olkin's prior work will be emphasized.
