Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

software image

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've been using Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis (CMA) for about five years now and have found it to be the most user‐friendly program for conducting meta‐analyses. CMA allows researchers to conduct meta‐analyses on a wide array of data sets. Further, CMA includes an array of some of the most sophisticated publication bias analyses, allowing researchers to examine an issue that is too often overlooked in meta‐analysis. I would highly recommend CMA to any researcher conducting metaanalyses."

Christopher J Ferguson - Associate Professor Department of Behavioral Sciences, Texas A&M International University


"The CMA program has been invaluable to us and greatly sped up the generation of a number of metaanalyses that we have conducted. It is actually user‐friendly (a compliment I rarely make!), has all the needed key features and is a pleasure to use. Not only that, Dr. Borentein was very helpful and responsive when we needed help. Thank you!"

Wolfgang Linden - Professor in Clinical psychology, University of British Columbia
