Towards a balanced veiw of parental effects: gaps, biases and opportunities

该项目旨在通过采用不同的方法（文献计量学，系统映射）和开发新的荟萃分析方法来确定和解决父母效应研究中的知识差距。该项目希望通过阐明父亲和后代以及母亲的作用，产生一个比目前所认识的更全面和完整的关于父母对后代性状影响的观点。该项目的预期成果包括推进亲本效应领域，创造新的强大的荟萃分析方法，为研究综合开辟新的途径。这将通过指导相关领域的未来研究和激发跨学科的新型元分析来提供显着的好处。

This project aims to identify and address knowledge gaps in research on parental effects by employing different methodologies (bibliometrics, systematic mapping) and developing novel methods of meta-analysis. This project expects to generate a more holistic and complete view of parental effects on offspring traits than currently appreciated, by elucidating the role of fathers and offspring in addition to mothers. Expected outcomes of the project include advancing the field of parental effects and creating new and powerful meta-analytic methods, opening up new avenues for research synthesis. This should provide significant benefits by directing future research in related fields and inspiring new kinds of meta-analyses across disciplines.
