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.


"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis is a cutting‐edge tool for researchers who are involved in systematic review and meta‐analysis. It provides methods for analyzing and presenting data that are easy to use and give clear presentations of findings. This is just a fantastic tool! Every serious scholar in this area should have it."

David Weisburd, Ph.D. - Walter E Meyer Professor of Law and Criminal Justice, Director, Institute of Criminology, Faculty of Law, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel


"(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."
