From Numbers to Words: Reporting Statistical Results for the Social Sciences

I have recently completed a masters, and found this book to be a great reference to understand the basics of how to report the findings of my research. I did not have much experience with academic research before, and this was a good start.

This is a "must have" book if you are taking statistics. I am presently taking Advance Statistics and I have always had trouble in the correct phrasing of the statistics that I have produced from my studies. I searched and bought many books to help guide me in this area. I was exicted when I read through this book. It not only guides you, it gives specific examples on the correct terminology. I am not yet an expert at writing up statistics but I am much better because of this book. As a side note, I have also shown it to others in my class, along with my professor, and many are going to order it.

I got this for a quantitative methods class this semester and it's been a helpful guide for explaining how to write up results from statistical output. It provides clear 'how-to' examples and illustrations of individual statistics, as well as explanations of terminology used for reporting results. If you're new to writing up statistical results, or would like a guide that clearly explains symbols, terminology, what you're supposed to include, and when/where to include it - this is for you.
