This chapter discusses how to write code in order to communicate ideas about a data analysis. In particular, the chapter describes how to: write pseudocode to give a high-level explanation of a programing task; adopt coding conventions and principles so that code is readable, well documented, and easily understood by others; and use technology tools to make sharing code easier.

This chapter describes the typical structure of a formal article and provides guidance about what should be included and emphasized in each section of a paper. The particular importance of placing work in the context of others’ work, while distinguishing what sets the work apart, is emphasized. Examples of report elements show the variety of structures that a formal report could take, depending on the venue and audience, and are based on the emergency-department visits from the previous chapter.

This chapter addresses how to create statistical graphs that are effective in communicating findings. This includes how to select an appropriate type of plot to reveal underlying structure in the data, facilitate important comparisons, and create a context for interpreting the distributions and relationships observed. The chapter also covers how to read common univariate and bivariate plots, pay attention to the details in making and interpreting plots, and create plots that help make a convincing argument.

This chapter addresses writing challenges specific to summarizing a data analysis. The aim is to provide guidance on how to craft clear sentences, choose appropriate words, and convey findings in a compelling manner that is faithful to the data and avoids overstating any implications. This chapter offers advice on how to differentiate statistical terminology from everyday language, represent numbers in text, write mathematical expressions, and choose the correct quantitative nouns and adjectives (e.g., fewer or less, percent or percentage).

This chapter covers how to write about data analyzed for a technical article. Examples are provided for writing a data description, including how to reference the source of the data, describe methods used to collect the data, summarize how the data were cleaned and prepared, and provide information about the variables used in the analysis. This chapter also provides tips on how to present summary statistics.

This chapter provides general advice for strengthening science writing. This advice includes how to trim phrases, write in a straightforward manner, and use an active voice and concrete nouns. Additionally, the chapter examines how to write from a higher level by, e.g., balancing between specific information and general statements, and smoothly transitioning between paragraphs and sections to improve the reading experience and provide a road map for the reader. Finally, also provided is a list of common grammatical errors to watch out for.

This chapter covers how to read about data with a focus on narrative as an important first step to writing for other publics. Examples include press releases and blog posts as outlets for researchers to write for broader audiences. This chapter also provides tips for identifying elements (e.g., the five Ws) and mapping the organization (e.g., the inverted pyramid) of press releases and identifying the motivation of, and argument strategies used in, blog posts.
