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 has been the perfect tool for all of my meta‐analysis needs. From calculating effect sizes to examining moderator effects to testing publication bias to building visually appealing forest plots, this program has it all. Its simplicity and straightforward design makes it easy to use for those just learning this data analysis technique. Additionally, with all that is included, this program is also great for those wishing to run more sophisticated analyses."

"I was an early adopter of CMA version 2 and have used it extensively in the last few years. CMA is easy to use, has a great diversity of computational options, is very reliable and is now well known by journal editors. I have no hesitation in recommending CMA to fellow academics."

Dr. Matthew Large - School of Psychiatry, University of New South Wales, Australia
