Gene V Glass (born June 19, 1940) is an American

social sciences. According to the science writer Morton Hunt, he coined the term "meta-analysis" and illustrated its first use in his presidential address to the American Educational Research Association in San Francisco in April, 1976. The most extensive illustration of the technique was to the literature on psychotherapy outcome studies, published in 1980 by Johns Hopkins University Press under the title Benefits of Psychotherapy by Mary Lee Smith, Gene V Glass, and Thomas I. Miller. Gene V Glass is a Regents' Professor Emeritus at Arizona State University in both the educational leadership and policy studies and psychology in education divisions, having retired in 2010 from the Mary Lou Fulton Institute and Graduate School of Education. From 2011 to 2020, he was a senior researcher at the National Education Policy Center,[1] a Research Professor in the School of Education at the University of Colorado Boulder, and a Lecturer in the Connie L. Lurie College of Education at San Jose State University. In 2003, he was elected to membership in the National Academy of Education.[2]

Contributions

In 1970, he published his first book, Statistical Methods in Education and Psychology, with his adviser Julian C. Stanley as co-author. The book, which was started in 1964 while Glass was still a graduate student, went through three editions, the most recent having been published in 1996 with Kenneth D. Hopkins as co-author. In all, as of 2010 his [3] professional résumé lists some 23 books and more than 250 articles, reviews and reports.

His scholarly contributions are divided into three periods: 1964–1974 statistical methods including contributions to factor analysis and meta-analysis; 1975–1985 psychotherapy outcome research; 1986–2010 education policy analysis. In addition, Glass has been an active editor of scholarly journals: 1968–1970 Review of Educational Research, 1978–1980 Psychological Bulletin (Editor for Methodology), 1984–1986 American Educational Research Journal (Co-Editor with Mary Lee Smith and Lorrie A. Shepard). In recent years he has championed the cause of open access to scholarly literature, having created in 1993 the ("free-to-read") online journal Education Policy Analysis Archives [4] and in 1998 the multi-lingual online book review journal Education Review,[5] both of which journals remained in continuous publication in 2010.

In 2006, he was honored with the Distinguished Contributions to Educational Research Award of the

Fertilizers, Pills & Magnetic Strips: The Fate of Public Education in America
in which contemporary education debates are seen as the result of demographic and economic trends throughout the 20th Century. In 2014, Glass co-authored with David C. Berliner the book 50 Myths and Lies That Threaten America's Public Schools.

One type of effect size estimator, g, was named after Glass by Larry V. Hedges.
