What does the article contain?

This article provides a simplified methodology for calculating Cohen’s d effect sizes from published experiments that use t-tests and F-tests.

Accompanying this article is a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet to speed your effect-size calculations. This file was updated in April, 2003 to deal more effectively with situations where the treatment-group mean is lower than the comparison-group mean.

Both the article and the spreadsheet are available as free downloadable files.

How can I get the article and spreadsheet?
