Fisher's transformation of the bivariate-normal correlation coefficient is usually derived as a variance-stabilizing transformation and its normalizing property is then demonstrated by the reduced skewness of the distribution resulting from the transformation. In this note the transformation is derived as a normalizing transformation that incorporates variance stabilization. Some additional remarks are made on the transformation and its uses.
