Discussion Topic
Imagine you have submitted a paper for publication (see Brown, 1994 in this week’s reading list). The editor has returned his comments saying that he is willing to accept the paper for publication on condition that Table 2 (see Brown, 1994) is changed. He feels that ‘it is difficult for the reader to understand, contains too much information and is too large.’
You now have to redo the table 2 and present some of the findings using plots and present your results in the forum. Reflect also upon your experiences of undertaking this task and what you have learnt. Share these reflections with your fellow students
