"CMA is a formidable tool for conducting sophisticated meta‐analyses in the domain of cognitive and behavioral sciences. As an early adapter of CMA I am still amazed about its flexibility in data storing, data processing, and its many options for validity checks of meta‐analytic outcomes such as trim‐and‐fill and other state‐of‐the‐art ways to test the influence of unpublished papers. The flexibility of CMA to exchange data with Excel, SPSS, and other statistical software is a major asset. I also taught courses on meta‐analysis with the student version of CMA available for the graduate students, and it has been a real success as CMA makes meta‐analysis transparent as well as motivating for students with a basic training in statistics."

"We bought the CMA software for professional perpetual version at the beginning of this year, and we have used it to do meta-analyses for several studies and trained the postgraduate students already. The friendly spreadsheet, easy-understandable dialog, not programming and modifiable output style make use of the software to do a meta-analysis convenient. The most fabulous point is that it can extend the traditional comparison of two groups to estimation of effect size in one group and generic point estimates. In summary, this software is an efficient and user-friendly tool for scientists to do a study related to meta-analysis."
