Hello, I've two quick questions:
1) I would like to include in the middle of my paper some data; should i write: Data Extracted 1, 2, etc; or Data Extract 1, 2, 3, etc. 2) If a paper written by two authors where should i put the apostrophe a or b: a: Tom's and Susan's (2000) method is.. b: Tom and Susan's (2000) method is. Thank you'll :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

1) I would have to see the actual sentence to correct it but neither of those sound right as is.
2) Tom and Susan's is the one you are looking for. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks!
For the first one there is no a sentence just that phrase. It is a subtitle! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Maybe "extracted data"?

In my opinion, "data extracted" is a sentence: data as subject, extracted as verb. "Data extract" is a noun indicating a portion of data taken from a larger set. Best of luck with your paper. -J.S. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The confusing part is Extract/Extracted. What do you mean by that? Edited by newyorkeric on 09 December 2010 at 1:19pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks! So I understand that the correct one is "data extracted". 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It is a common phrase in academic papers means: taken. 1 person has voted this message useful |
