Where Form 2220 Respectively 2022-2023

Music hi my name is Kerry Thurber and I'm a quality control editor at Research Square today I will be talking about how and when to use respectively in a sentence researchers often record data from multiple time points concentrations treatments temperatures etc comparisons of these data often take the form of parallel lists to lists with the same number of items the items in the first list correspond to items in the second list in order the sentence often ends with the adverb respectively in English respectively means in precisely the order given sequentially you can think of a parallel list as a table in sentence form the average growth rate was to 4 at 8 grams per minute in the 20 25 and 30 degree treatments respectively however if the list is not parallel then we do not use respectively a longer way to write the previous sentence would be the average growth rate was 2 grams per minute for the 20-degree treatment 4 grams per minute for the 25-degree treatment and 8 grams per minute for the 30-degree treatment in this case respectively is not used as there is only one paired list rather than two parallel lists another example of one respectively would not be used is the average growth rate was 2 4 and 8 grams per minute for the 20 to 30 degree treatments in this case we may infer that the 2 and 8 grams per minute rates match the 20 and 30 degree treatments but this list is not parallel because we do not know the temperature value that matches with the 4 gram per minute rate punctuation is also important to remember with respectively if respectively is at the end of the set then it will be preceded by a comma...
