Abstract

Many statisticians are disturbed by poor standards of statistical presentation in agricultural research journals. To help quantify the problem, Tropical Agriculture and two other journals were surveyed for the period 1980-1986. In this survey note was taken of the statistical designs and analyses reported. The results of the survey indicate deficiencies in statistical reporting.
