Data Tables & Reports
Professional data presentation is essential for research communication[1]. This page demonstrates advanced table formatting and reporting capabilities.

Export Options
Tables can be exported in multiple formats[5]:
- CSV: For data analysis in R, Python, or Excel
- LaTeX: For academic publications
- Markdown: For reports and documentation
- PDF: Via the integrated PDF export pipeline
Best Practices for Research Tables
- Clear Headers: Use descriptive column names with units
- Appropriate Precision: Report statistics to meaningful decimal places
- Missing Data: Always report and explain missing values
- Footnotes: Use footnotes for methodological details[6]
- Consistency: Maintain consistent formatting across tables

Statistical summaries should include measures of central tendency and dispersion. The 95% confidence interval provides the range of plausible values for the population parameter. ↩︎
Publication tables should follow journal guidelines. Most biomedical journals require reporting of means ± standard deviations and p-values for hypothesis tests. ↩︎
Missing data patterns can introduce bias. Little, R.J.A., & Rubin, D.B. (2019). Statistical Analysis with Missing Data (3rd ed.). Wiley. ↩︎
Data export functionality ensures reproducibility and enables secondary analysis. Follow FAIR principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. ↩︎
Table footnotes should clarify abbreviations, statistical methods, and any data transformations applied. Keep footnotes concise but complete. ↩︎
