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.


"I am an advanced graduate student in clinical psychology, and CMA software was integrated into a meta‐analysis course I recently took. I feel very fortunate to have been trained in meta‐analyses at a time when we have this software because CMA is easy and, I dare say, fun to use. Rather than spending countless hours computing my own effect sizes and creating syntax, the program did it for me, which allowed me to spend my time really looking at the data, both graphically and numerically. I bought CMA for myself and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn the art of meta‐analysis."

Rachel Hershenberg


"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis (CMA) is a must‐have tool for academic instructors, researchers, and statisticians alike. Developed by a strong team of highly recognized experts in the field, CMA meets all of your meta‐analysis needs and is easy to teach and easy to use. I would not attempt to ever conduct another meta‐analysis without using the CMA program, for the difference is between heaven and earth!"
