Summary

This paper offers guidelines for the presentation of statistical material in scientific journals and project reports. Emphasis is given to the importance of planning a study so that the various components of statistical material can be linked to ensure the full efficiency of the work; if this is done well, the presentation of the results of the study, including the statistical components, can be achieved with greater ease.
