How To Report Statistics in Medicine
"How To Report Statistics in Medicine," second edition, was published in July 2006 by the American College of Physicians (ACP), the nation's largest medical-specialty society. The second edition revises and expands a popular text that has become a standard guide in the fields of medical writing, scientific publications, and evidence-based medicine.
As in the first edition, the authors -- respected medical editor/writer and scientific writing instructor Thomas A. Lang, MA, and biostatistician and statistical consultant Michelle Secic, MS -- again stress that "How To Report Statistics in Medicine," second edition, is not a text on analyzing or calculating statistics but rather a guide to interpreting and reporting them. It was written for authors, editors, and reviewers who prepare or evaluate biomedical research for publication, especially in peer-reviewed journals.

How to Write, Publish, and Present in the Health Sciences
A profound, if unacknowledged, truth is that science could not exist without writing. The characteristics that make science science—that it is public, objective, reproducible, predictive, cumulative, and systematic—all depend on written communication. Further, publication is the final stage of research. If the research is not published, it never happened.
Thus, scientific writing and publishing drive the advancement of both science and scientists. Another truth, likewise unacknowledged, is that scientific writing is not just
about writing. It is about communicating with graphs, tables, statistics, and images, as well as with words. It is about persuading readers with reason, fact, and logic to accept the research as credible. It is about documenting experimental protocols, analytical methods, and results so that the research can be evaluated, interpreted, and replicated. It is about archiving the research in the scientific literature so that others can find it, learn it, and build on it.
By addressing these other functions of scientific writing, How to Write, Publish, and Present in the Health Sciences goes well beyond the usual books in this field to create a uniquely valuable resource. It provides advice and techniques for preparing formal scientific communications: abstracts, posters, slides, grant proposals, and scientific articles. It also addresses the related topics of writing effectively and efficiently; preparing tables, graphs, drawings, and photographs for publication; creating posters and slides; and documenting clinical and laboratory images for publication.
