Data Analysis and Interpretation
Data collection is the systematic recording of information;
Data analysis involves working to uncover patterns and trends in datasets;
Data interpretation involves explaining those patterns and trends. Scientists interpret data based on their background knowledge and experience; thus, different scientists can interpret the same data in different ways. By publishing their data and the techniques they used to analyze and interpret those data, scientists give the community the opportunity to both review the data and use them in future research.
