Calculating and reporting effect sizes.


 
APA Quantitative result standards recommend the reporting of effect sizes so that the reader can determine the clinical importance of the reported results of a study.  Recently I presented a short summary workshop at The University of Notre Dame Australia.  Here I summarise the use of, calculation and reporting of effect sizes.  If you’d like more information then check out my handouts at the Institute for Health Research.

JARS – not the pickling type!

JARS refers to Journal Article Reporting Standards in quantitative research. A working group of the Publications and Communications Board of the American Psychological Association (APA) developed these standards.  While targeted to Psychology, these guidelines are a sound standard for anyone who uses APA style guide.

Want to know more on reporting standards using APA style?  Check out Appelbaum and colleagues’ 2018 article. “Journal Article Reporting Standards for Quantitative Research in Psychology: The APA Publications and Communications Board Task Force Report.”
