Community of Practice
What exactly is a community of practice? Well, it's more than a club or a group of people with the same interest. A community of practice includes members who share a commitment and passion to advancing the individual and collective knowledge base of an area of interest. MMARI, MATI, and MALIC constitute a community of researchers and practitioners dedicated to improving their skills in systematic review and meta-analysis.
​
This community is strengthened and maintained by the relationships that are built between members as they move toward their shared journey of developing high-quality meta-analyses.
Over time, these meta-analytic studies build a foundational knowledge base that can be leveraged by researchers, policymakers, and advocacy groups to propose methodologically sound and evidence-based policies and interventions that can be used to promote the greater good.
​
Promoting the greater good starts within the community. To that end, MALIC was created to help share and democratize advanced methods in systematic review and meta-analysis with an intentional focus on identifying underrepresented groups in STEM and Education who can use their experiences to add new perspectives using systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
