The decision of the external reviewers can be expected within 5 weeks of submission. Authors are not given the names of the reviewers of their article. Editorial Board members and reviewers need to declare any conflict of interest they may have in reviewing a manuscript. The Editors make the final decision on the manuscript. The authors who have any objection to the decision of the Editors are welcome to approach the Editorial Board with their appeal. Specialist statistical reviewers are involved whenever the content of the manuscript requires their collaboration.
Statistical Methods
List the test used and relate them with specific data analysis. For parametrics methods must be tested normality, shape of distribution and appropriate sample or number of cases in each group for example in t-test or ANOVA analysis. Nonparametric methods should be used to compare groups with small number of cases and when the distribution of the dependent variable is not normal. Exact methods should be used as extensively as possible in the analysis of categorical data. Results should be presented with only as much precision as is of scientific value. Descriptive statistics such as measures of central tendency could be presented with only one decimal places but standard deviations with two decimal places. Measures of association, such as odds ratios and other statistical values such as t-value or F-value should ordinarily be reported to two decimal places whereas P value must be presented with three decimal places. P values smaller than 0.001 should be reported as P<0.001. Each table and figure should be put on a separate sheet of paper. Each table in the paper should be self-explanatory, with an adequate title, legend, and logical presentation of data. Please, do not present the same data in more than one way: present them in a table OR a figure.
