Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
PURPOSE: The general problem of 'getting past the statistical referee' has been recognised in many journals over a long period of time. The purpose of this article is to help authors in the review process, and to give the journal better statistical credentials. METHOD: This is a reflection of 20 years of statistical reviewing for this and other journals, calling on the literature where appropriate. RESULTS: A number of criteria are listed that any statistician would expect authors to address. The statistician should not expect a statistical masterclass of all of them, but a recognition of the general problems posed. CONCLUSIONS: By using these criteria authors should be better equipped to deal with statistical issues that might arise. |
