Data Analysis
The Technological-Educational Journal Docentes 2.0 (TEDJ) shares and promotes the guidelines of ethics and good editorial practices of the COPE (Committee of Publication Ethics), thus guaranteeing transparency and integrity in all processes by the journal's editorial team, as well as their collaborators in the roles of authors and evaluators.
As defined by COPE (199) Definition: Data should be appropriately analyzed, but inappropriate analysis does not necessarily amount to misconduct. Fabrication and falsification of data do constitute misconduct.
(1) All sources and methods used to obtain and analyze data, including any electronic pre-processing, should be fully disclosed; detailed explanations should be provided for any exclusions.
(2) Methods of analysis must be explained in detail, and referenced, if they are not in common use.
(3) The post hoc analysis of subgroups is acceptable, as long as this is disclosed. Failure to disclose that the analysis was post hoc is unacceptable.
(4) The discussion section of a paper should mention any issues of bias which have been considered and explain how they have been dealt with in the design and interpretation of the study.
