+    (description
+      "This package provides a comprehensive collection of 
+functions for conducting meta-analyses in R.  The package 
+includes functions to calculate various effect sizes or outcome 
+measures, fit fixed-, random-, and mixed-effects models to such 
+data, carry out moderator and meta-regression analyses, and create 
+various types of meta-analytical plots (e.g., forest, funnel, radial, 
+L'Abbe, Baujat, GOSH plots).  For meta-analyses of binomial and 
+person-time data, the package also provides functions that implement 
+specialized methods, including the Mantel-Haenszel method, Peto's 
+method, and a variety of suitable generalized linear (mixed-effects) 
+models (i.e., mixed-effects logistic and Poisson regression models).  
+Finally, the package provides functionality for fitting meta-analytic 
+multivariate/multilevel models that account for non-independent 
+sampling errors and/or true effects (e.g., due to the inclusion of 
+multiple treatment studies, multiple endpoints, or other forms of clustering). 
 
+Network meta-analyses and meta-analyses accounting for known correlation 
+structures (e.g., due to phylogenetic relatedness) can also be conducted.")
