        abstract = {Statistics is a crucial part of modern scientific research as a means of facilitating data collection, analysis, interpretation, and decision-making, helping scientists turn data into their meaningful interpretations or evidence. In various disciplines, including medical, engineering, social sciences, economics, and ecology, statistics is useful in conducting effective scientific research, designing scientific studies, or estimating sample size, but also in testing scientific hypotheses or estimating scientific uncertainties to ensure that scientific research is scientifically valid or generalized inferences could be drawn from the scientific data. Facilitating data variability, scientific control of biases, or scientific validation of data through regression analyses, confidence intervals, or other scientific testing, statistics ensures scientific validity or authenticity of scientific discoveries. Additionally, scientific reasoning or logic in statistics helps in scientific evidence-based decision-making to scientifically assess or choose options in a given scientific uncertainty or context, along with ensuring scientific clarity or critical interpretations in various data patterns or scientific contexts.. The purpose of this review study is to emphasize the significance of statistics in scientific research and explore this subject in terms of its applications in diverse areas, and also to study its impact on evidence-based decision-making by compiling different concepts related to this topic, statistically highlighting that it is an integral part of scientific research today.},
