Abstract

This is an invited commentary on a paper by Sen et al. (forthcoming). I explain how their paper provides a useful reminder of the need to communicate the practical importance of statistical findings more effectively and more often. I also explain how their recommendations address just a small piece of the issue of practical importance. I describe how we must keep the whole issue in mind and I provide examples from my editorial role at MIS Quarterly.
