Ten Simple Rules for Effective Statistical Practice by Robert E. Kass, Brian S.

From the post:
Several months ago, Phil Bourne, the initiator and frequent author of the wildly successful and incredibly useful “Ten Simple Rules” series, suggested that some statisticians put together a Ten Simple Rules article related to statistics. (One of the rules for writing a PLOS Ten Simple Rules article is to be Phil Bourne [1]. In lieu of that, we hope effusive praise for Phil will suffice.)
…
I started to copy out the “ten simple rules,” sans the commentary but that would be a disservice to my readers.
Nodding past a ten bullet point listing isn’t going to make your statistics more effective.
Re-write the commentary on all ten rules to apply them to every project. The focusing of the rules on your work will result in specific advice and examples for your field.
Who knows? Perhaps you will be writing a ten simple rule article in your specific field, sans Phil Bourne as a co-author. (Do be sure and cite Phil.)
