Abstract

T he effective graphical presentation of information is an essential skill in most scientific disciplines.It is such a fundamental part of my own professional work that I cannot imagine how I could function without it.Hence I have great interest in understanding how to Jim Matey is CIP 's department editor for Laboratory Applications and senior member of the technical staff at Sarnoff Corp., Princeton, NJ.His areas of interest include laboratory automation, data analysis, modeling, and process control.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
