"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis (CMA) is a must‐have tool for academic instructors, researchers, and statisticians alike. Developed by a strong team of highly recognized experts in the field, CMA meets all of your meta‐analysis needs and is easy to teach and easy to use. I would not attempt to ever conduct another meta‐analysis without using the CMA program, for the difference is between heaven and earth!"

Guili Zhang, Ph.D. - Asst. Professor of Research Methodology, Department of Curriculum and Instruction Editor, Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, Chair, American Educational Research Association Quantitative Dissertation Award Committee Project Director, IGERT Assessment Project, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC


"I have now used Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis in five meta‐analyses and highly recommend it. Its structure and accompanying resources particularly assist researchers with clinical rather than statistical backgrounds to avoid important errors in data entry and analysis. Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis enables meta‐analysis methods recommended by leading statisticians and meta‐analysts to be used by researchers internationally."

Dr. Catherine Sherrington - Senior Research Fellow, The George Institute for Global Health, The University of Sydney, Australia
