Accurate data is vital for communication of scientific results, and is the result of concerted effort throughout the writing process. To ensure quality communication of results, writers must present representative data in a fair and balanced manner. Data annotations must be complete, sufficiently detailed, easy-to-use, and traceable in the event of an audit. Data quality reviewers must be mindful of the broad spectrum of potential errors within scope of their review. This session will provide practical information on these topics to enable improvement in data accuracy of publications.

Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Describe best practices for ethical and accurate presentation of data in publications
  • Discuss processes for data annotation and audit preparedness
  • Compare strategies for reviewing publications for data accuracy
