Feature request: suppression of leading zero for p values

In APA format, two decimal places are used for more values, apart from p values which should have three.

However, in addition, numbers which can never be greater than one should be reported without a zero before the decimal point, i.e. p = .039, not p = 0.039

Since p values already have a separate option for numbers of decimal places in jamovi, please could they also have the zero suppression? Ideally correlations, R2 values, Cronbach's alpha and partial eta squared, to name a few, should also have zero suppression but two decimal places (as can already be selected in the number format).

Cheers,

Wake

I second that. It is also AMA style (American Medical Association Manual of Style) and it makes sense.

oh yup,

i did play around with this yesterday, but i didn't think it was as clear or readable.

not saying we won't do it, but it didn't seem to be a slam-dunk.
