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 have used Comprehensive Meta‐analysis as the primary course software for a doctoral‐level course on systematic review and meta‐analysis methods which I have taught at Columbia University. The software, documentation, and tutorial materials have made the teaching and learning of meta‐analysis methods stimulating, efficient, and enjoyable. While the methods of meta‐analysis can be daunting to students, this program and supporting materials provide clear guidance and hands‐on experience which greatly enrich the learning process. Based on my experience I think that Comprehensive Meta‐analysis should be required in any course dealing with the subject."

Edward J Mullen - Willma & Albert Musher Professor, Columbia University


"Until we purchased CMA, meta‐analysis was a burdensome chore. While nothing will take the labor out of coding studies, CMA has been a boon to our lab, and we have done three studies in the past year. It saves many, many hours. It is well worth the cost and pays rich dividends."

Everett L. Worthington, Jr. - Professor of Psychology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA
