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.


"CMA has been a huge asset in my research on motivation and self‐regulation. I have used this software to conduct multiple meta‐analyses, each requiring different and multiple formats of effect size. CMA surpassed my needs and expectations every time. The software is really "comprehensive" yet exceptionally user‐friendly. Fellows and students have learned to use it in just one sitting. I highly recommend CMA to any researcher wishing to conduct meta‐analysis in a highly effective and efficient manner."

"It is a pleasure to recommend Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis. It is dependable, educational and easy to use software that we use often for research and teaching. Using Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis is very helpful in my research. Moreover, I have become aware of several new procedures and caveats. Using the software is a beautiful way to understand and build skills and a great teaching tool. It should be used by any epidemiologist who is interested in meta‐analysis."
