About: This is a web-based effect-size calculator. It is designed to facilitate the computation of effect sizes for meta-analysis. Four effect-size types can be computed from various input data: the standardized mean difference (Cohen’s d and Hedges’ g), the odds ratio, the risk ratio, and the correlation coefficient. This calculator is a companion to the 2001 book Practical Meta-analysis by Mark W. Lipsey and David B. Wilson.

How to Use: From the menu above, first, select the effect size index type of interest. Next, select the menu option that fits the type of data you have available for computing the effect size. Then enter the necessary data. Finally, click the “Compute” button to calculate the effect size.
