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.


"The Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis program greatly facilitates conducting quantitative research syntheses. Its graphical capabilities are unmatched and make impressive visual displays of cumulative research findings easy to create. It is user friendly, and its algorithms are well validated in the methodological literature. I recommend it highly."

Steven P. Brown - Bauer Professor of Marketing, C.T. Bauer College of Business, University of Houston


"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!"
