While it is true that effect sizes can be interpreted as standard deviations, it is not always the case (e.g., d can also be interpreted as the difference between means). Furthermore, it is important to consider the context of previous research to understand the magnitude of the effect size. Simply reporting effect sizes without interpretation can be misleading and uninformative.
