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” represents state‐of‐the art software for conducting meta‐analysis and I highly recommend it to individuals of all stripes seeking to conduct quantitative reviews of the research literature. Its template for data input and its various options for producing outputs and tables make it one‐stop software for research reports. I cannot say enough about CMA and its functionality."

Thomas Hugh Feeley - University at Buffalo


"CMA is very easy to use. That’s partly because of the manual and tutorial which take you through the analysis step by step. It’s also extremely versatile in terms of the type of input data it will accept (which is really valuable because with a meta‐analysis you have to take what data you can get). The output is comprehensive enough to permit you to interpret your effects, not merely report them."
