Respected Colleagues,
I want to stress few words about usage of statistics in JSER papers.
Numerical data should be analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
Define all statistical measures and models unambiguously and include a
relevant analysis of the statistical probabilities and software or
statistical packages used. Identify the number of independent
replications of experimental treatments and the number of times
individual experiments were duplicated. Provide detailed information for
each statistical test applied including: the type of test; degrees of
freedom; population size; definition of population (e.g., number of
individual measurements, number of animals, number of slices, number of
times treatment was applied, etc.); and what correction, if any, was
used to adjust for multiple pairwise comparisons. Probability values
should be denoted as p. Do not report p-values to more than two places
after the decimal. Actual p-values are preferred to the use of the terms
“significant” and “highly significant”, for p < 0.05 and p< 0.01,
respectively. Avoid the ambiguous use of p > 0.05 to declare
non-significance.
