President-Elect James Pustejovsky James Pustejovsky is a statistician and associate professor in the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he teaches in the graduate program in Quantitative Methods. His research focuses on developing statistical methods and tools for research synthesis and meta-analysis, especially for applications in education, psychology, and other areas of social science research. Within meta-analysis, his interests include synthesis of statistically dependent effect sizes, models for selective outcome reporting and publication bias, and effect size estimation for single-case designs.
Past President 2023 — 2024 Terri Pigott Terri Pigott is Associate Provost for Research and a Professor of Research Methodology in the School of Education at Loyola University Chicago. She served as Dean of the School of Education from 2014-2017. Prior to Loyola, she was Associate Program Officer at the Spencer Foundation in Chicago. Dr. Pigott is the former co-Chair and current co-Editor of the Methods Group of the Campbell Collaboration, an international collaboration supporting the production of systematic reviews of social interventions. She has numerous publications on methods of meta-analysis, including work on handling missing data and computing power in meta-analysis. She is also interested in outcome reporting bias in education research, and its implications for systematic review. She serves on a number of editorial boards including Psychological Bulletin, Psychological Methods, and Research Synthesis Methods. She is chair of the AERA SIG on Systematic Review and Meta-analysis, and a long-time member of the Society for Research Synthesis Methodology (SRSM).
Secretary Hayley Jones Hayley Jones is a Senior Lecturer in Medical Statistics at the University of Bristol, UK. She completed her PhD in Biostatistics at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge, focusing on Bayesian modelling of healthcare performance indicators and identification of unusual performance (“provider profiling”). Following completion of her PhD in 2009, she moved to the University of Bristol, where she moved her primary focus to evidence synthesis methodology while continuing to specialise in Bayesian methods. Her current primary research interest is methodology for meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy. She has also developed, and maintains a longstanding interest in, Bayesian evidence synthesis models to estimate the size of hidden populations (for example, the prevalence of opioid dependence) from multiple data sources. Other interests include methods for meta-epidemiology and interpretation and sources of statistical heterogeneity in meta-analyses.	Past Secretaries Will Shadish 2006 — 2010 Betsy Becker 2011 — 2012 Thomas Trikalinos 2013 — 2016 Julian Little 2016 — 2019 Tianjing Li 2019 — 2021
Treasurer Ian Saldanha Ian Jude Saldanha is a former physician (Grant Medical College, Mumbai, India) who then trained in public health, epidemiology, clinical trials, and evidence synthesis (MPH and PhD from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, USA). Dr. Saldanha is an Associate Professor of Health Services, Policy, and Practice, and of Epidemiology, at the Brown University School of Public Health. He is the Assistant Director of the Brown Evidence-based Practice Center. He researches outcome use in clinical research, outcome measurement, and technology for evidence synthesis, and has conducted evidence syntheses on a wide range of topics. He has served as an evidence synthesis expert committee member on a couple of committees for the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. Dr. Saldanha serves as an editor for the journal Systematic Reviews and for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Effective Healthcare Program.

Research Synthesis Methods Editors
Co Editor Dimitris Mavridis 2023 — present Dimitris Mavridis is an associate professor of statistics in the Department of Primary Education in the University of Ioannina (Ioannina, Greece). He worked on psychometric methods during his PhD at the Athens University of Economics and Business and as a forensic statistician, after his PhD, in the School of Mathematics in the University of Edinburgh. Since 2010, he is based at the University of Ioannina where he runs a research group focusing on evidence synthesis methods (webpage). His research interests focus primarily on statistical methods for evidence synthesis, especially network meta-analysis, and more broadly in medical and educational statistics. He had been editor for the “statistics in practice” paper series for the “Evidence Based Mental Health” Journal from 2014 to 2022 and since the beginning of 2023 has started working as co-editor-in-chief for the “Research Synthesis Methods” journal.
