我们科学家依赖统计数据。在某种程度上，这是因为我们使用统计数据来报告我们自己的科学并解释他人已发表的科学。对于我们中的一些人来说，报告和解释统计数据就像阅读不熟悉的语言：做起来很尴尬，而且很容易误解含义。为了促进这些任务，我们在 2004 年撰写了一篇社论 (8)，其中提出了帮助研究人员分析数据和传达结果的具体指南。这些报告统计数据的指南可以通过美国生理学会 (APS) 作者信息 (4) 获取。在这篇后续社论中，我们报告了对该指南的初步反应以及该指南对报告实践的后续影响。我们还重新审视了三项指导方针。 2004 年，我们希望该指南能够提高 APS 出版的期刊报告的统计信息的质量并使其标准化。我们仍然这样做。
WE SCIENTISTS rely on statistics. In part, this is because we use statistics to report our own science and to interpret the published science of others. For some of us, reporting and interpreting statistics can be like reading an unfamiliar language: it is awkward to do, and it is easy to misinterpret meaning. To facilitate these tasks, in 2004, we wrote an editorial (8) in which we proposed specific guidelines to help investigators analyze data and communicate results. These guidelines for reporting statistics can be accessed through the American Physiological Society (APS) Information for Authors (4). In this followup editorial, we report initial reactions to the guidelines and the subsequent impact of the guidelines on reporting practices. We also revisit three guidelines. In 2004, we hoped the guidelines would improve and standardize the caliber of statistical information reported throughout journals published by the APS. We still do.
