Avoid phrases such as “I think” or “I believe”. State things that are true.
Avoid making statements on things that are not true.
Avoid phrases such as “After looking at the data I determined…” or “The data
say that…” Data do not speak. People speak. Analyses speak. Data do not.
(Note that “data” is the plural term for “datum”, i.e., a single data point or
individual observation).
Avoid first person.
When creating maps of Wisconsin, use a CRS appropriately for Wisconsin (e.g.,
EPSG:3070 or EPSG:3071). Note that this does not mean defining the CRS as one
of these coordinate systems.
Export maps as images (don’t use screenshots).
Submit one document. Don’t submit maps as separate files.
Make the maps take up a large portion of the page. Don’t submit really small
maps.
Use a human readable legend. I.e., change the names of layers to something
that is easily understandable.
