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.


"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


"My colleagues and I thought that the software is really easy to use. My students were also very satisfied. The task of calculating effect sizes was easy to understand, even for people without advanced knowledge in statistics. The program has numerous options for data entry, calculation of effect sizes, and tests for heterogeneity and publication bias, and facilitates the presentation to a comprehensive meta‐analytic project. Technical and other support from the company was available immediately."
