Often times this is done in a separate field or laboratory notebook. The table should include a title. The raw data is usually not included in scientific papers because the data set may be so large that it would be difficult for a reader to interpret or because much of the data may not be relevant to the conclusions made in the discussion. Results are typically summarized as graphs, tables, and written statements of major trends. The results should summarize trends that relate directly to your hypotheses.
Tables often contain statistical summaries.
Data can also be represented graphically . Graphs are especially appropriate when several measurements need to be compared simultaneously. Graphs are spatial representations of data that allow both you and the reader to quickly compare several measurements collected for two or more variables. Be sure to include a title and to label both axes. The mean for each group can be represented by the height of the bar.
