Communicate

So far, you’ve learned the tools to get your data into R, tidy it into a form convenient for analysis, and then understand your data through transformation, and visualization.
到目前为止，你已经学习了将数据导入 R、将其整理成便于分析的形式，然后通过转换和可视化来理解数据的工具。

However, it doesn’t matter how great your analysis is unless you can explain it to others: you need to communicate your results.
然而，无论你的分析有多出色，除非你能向他人解释清楚，否则都毫无意义：你需要沟通你的结果。

Figure 1: Communication is the final part of the data science process; if you can’t communicate your results to other humans, it doesn’t matter how great your analysis is.

Communication is the theme of the following two chapters:
沟通是接下来两章的主题：

• In 28  Quarto, you will learn about Quarto, a tool for integrating prose, code, and results.
  You can use Quarto for analyst-to-analyst communication as well as analyst-to-decision-maker communication.
  Thanks to the power of Quarto formats, you can even use the same document for both purposes.
  在 28  Quarto 中，你将学习 Quarto，这是一个用于整合文字、代码和结果的工具。
  你可以使用 Quarto 进行分析师与分析师之间的沟通，以及分析师与决策者之间的沟通。
  得益于 Quarto 格式的强大功能，你甚至可以为这两种目的使用同一份文档。

• In 29  Quarto formats, you’ll learn a little about the many other varieties of outputs you can produce using Quarto, including dashboards, websites, and books.
  在 29  Quarto formats 中，你将学习一些关于使用 Quarto 可以生成的许多其他类型的输出，包括仪表板、网站和书籍。

These chapters focus mostly on the technical mechanics of communication, not the really hard problems of communicating your thoughts to other humans.
这些章节主要关注沟通的技术层面，而不是将你的想法传达给其他人的真正难题。

However, there are lot of other great books about communication, which we’ll point you to at the end of each chapter.
不过，关于沟通还有很多其他优秀的书籍，我们会在每章末尾向你推荐。
