| Summary: | Communicating with Data consist of five parts. Part I helps the novice learn to write by reading the work of others. Part II delves into the specifics of how to describe data at a level appropriate for publication, create informative and effective visualizations and communicate an analysis pipeline through well-written, reproducible code. Part III demonstrates how to reduce a data analysis to a compelling story and organize and write the first draft of a technical paper. Part IV addresses revision; this includes advice on writing about statistical findings in a clear and accurate way, general writing advice, and strategies beyond the page, which include giving talks, building a professional network and participating in online communities. This book also provides 22 'portfolio prompts' that extend the guidance and examples in the earlier parts of the book and helps writers build their portfolio of data communication. |
