"(1) Working with your staff and the software itself made computer installation and start up incredibly easy. (2) Instructing my students (seniors in a capstone research intensive course) on how to use the software was also remarkably easy. They did far more with the software than I had expected and made some elegant looking figures for their senior presentations. (3) Meta‐analysis was a new technique for our whole department (PUI institution), and the oral presentations by my students using the CMA software and graphics impressed faculty immensely."

Susan B. Chaplin - Department of Biology, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, MN


"I first encountered Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis in an online course in the basics of the statistical technique. The software was intuitive and easy to learn, and it has features that go well beyond the basics. The ability to handle multiple types of data and the comprehensive set of analyses available should satisfy even the most demanding research requirements."
