    Description

    Figures in scientific publications are critically important because they often show the data supporting key findings. Our systematic review of research articles published in top physiology journals (n = 703) suggests that, as scientists, we urgently need to change our practices for presenting continuous data in small sample size studies. Papers rarely included scatterplots, box plots, and histograms that allow readers to critically evaluate continuous data. Most papers presented continuous data in bar and line graphs. This is problematic, as many different data distributions can lead to the same bar or line graph. The full data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. We recommend training investigators in data presentation, encouraging a more complete presentation of data, and changing journal editorial policies. Investigators can quickly make univariate scatterplots for small sample size studies using our Excel templates.

    Description

    This MS Excel data has been processed into line graphs to create time series line graphs and data tables which give insight into changing physiochemical water quality characteristics and influences. The study sets out to determine if climate change has had an influence on physiochemical water quality characteristics both within and between the Breede and Olifants estuaries over a nine year monitoring period. The data represents changes and comparisons between salinity, temperature and rainfall within and between the Olifants and Breede river estuaries in the Wester Cape Province of South Africa.
