Show the data, don't conceal them

Abstract

Data presentation and statistical analysis in scientific writing are agreed to be in need of improvement, despite the profusion of advice and instruction. Recent evidence supports the need for better planning and analysis of animal experiments. This series of short articles aims to provide advice in small easily digested pieces, on a variety of topics, both basic and more specialized, that are relevant to readers of the journal. The present article encourages authors to present data clearly, preferably as a dot plot, so that the distribution of the values can be recognized. The use of different measures of distribution of a population, and different measures of precision of an estimate is contrasted.
