Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) is a powerful computer program for meta-analysis. The program combines ease of use with a wide array of computational options and sophisticated graphics.


"We have used a number of meta‐analytic packages in our research and teaching, but have found the use of Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis as the only complete meta‐analysis software that meets not only the needs of our researchers but also the needs of the classroom."

Dr. R. L. Brown - Professor of Research Methodology, Director of Research Design and Statistics Unit, Schools of Nursing, Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin‐Madison, Madison, WI


"I have used Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis II for the last 6 years to assist with a number of published meta‐analytic studies in the behavioral sciences. I have found the program to be flexible and powerful. I have also used CMA II in two graduate seminars focused on meta‐analysis. The students are able to learn the program quickly and appreciate how it structures their data sets and prevents some common mistakes made in meta‐analysis."
