Items such as apparatus or equipment used in the study, start date for testing, completion date, conditions of samples when received, etc., are examples of aspects in such a questionnaire. Data Report A compilation of the data report forms returned by the participating laboratories is to be part of the Research Report without any indication of the identity of the participating laboratories other than the ILS Laboratory Code. This data may be summarized in a table rather than using copies of the submitted pages. Caution: Data report forms typically show the sender's contact information. Statistical Data Summary A summary of the reported data, and other statistical data, such as average mean, standard deviation, determination of the outliers, etc., calculated from the data returned by the participating laboratories is to be a part of the Research Report. A description of the means by which the statistical analysis was carried out is to be included, for example, ‘XYZ Statistics Pro version 1 software was used for the analysis.’ Note: The precision program D2PP provides this information in its printed word format output. Research Report Summary & Conclusions The Research Report should contain a summary of the results, their significance, and conclusions reached. If this work was done at the request of another organization, then the relationship between the work requested and observed results is to be expressed.
