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.


"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis is a fantastic program that allows you to perform advanced meta‐analytic techniques with minimal effort. The graphics editor is especially versatile and allows you to produce high‐quality graphs with ease. Thankfully it doesn't require the complicated codes often necessitated by some statistical programs. On top of that I have found their customer service prompt and helpful and overall I'm very pleased to have purchased the software."

Dr. Richard Mc Gee


"As an NIH funded meta‐analytic researcher, I can honestly say that Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis is currently the most comprehensive stand‐alone software package for conducting high‐quality metaanalyses. I especially like its ease of use, including, but not limited to, the ability to calculate effect sizes from a large array of reported statistics as well as the ability to easily combine results from multiple groups in the same study into one common effect size. In my opinion, this is a “must” purchase for any serious meta‐analyst."
