Communication is a critical yet often overlooked part of data science.
Communicating with Data aims to help students and researchers write
about their insights in a way that is both compelling and faithful to
the data. General advice on science writing is also provided,
including how to distill findings into a story and organize and revise
the story, and how to write clearly, concisely, and precisely. This is
an excellent resource for students who want to learn how to write
about scientific findings, and for instructors who are teaching a
science course in communication or a course with a writing component.
Communicating with Data consists 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 for proof reading and revising. Part V
offers advice about communication 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 help writers build their portfolio of data
communication.
