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.


"CMA has been the vehicle to get me started with my PhD! A meta‐analysis is the optimal starting point, as it allows you to clearly see the state‐of‐the‐art in your field and pose new questions. CMA, with its self‐explanatory, user‐friendly platform is the kind of software you would hope to be using for your meta‐analyses! Now my students are starting off their journeys in research by performing a metaanalysis using CMA!"

Dr. Papadatou‐Pastou Marietta - Lecturer, University of Athens


"Being the lecturer for the course on meta‐analysis for the JSSS in Cambridge [the Social Science Research Methods Course programme, a shared platform for providing research students with a broad range of quantitative and qualitative research methods skills that are relevant across the social sciences], I am really forward looking forward to familiarising students with the programme. I found CMA unbelievably flexible‐‐and it wouldn't take students long to familiarise with it given how user‐friedly the programme is."
