We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Using published data: errors and remedies" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The apparent authenticity of published data can be as dangerous as it is inviting. This guide points out the main dangers (sampling errors, measurement errors, and invalid or unreliable procedures) and analyzes the various ways in which these problems arise -- giving numerous examples.
