Abstract
The increased involvement of statisticians in the publication of biomedical research has resulted in increased communication between statisticians and biomedical journal editors. This paper considers ways to enhance positive interactions between statisticians and journal editors. Specific questions addressed are: What are the most serious statistical problems in manuscripts? What statistical design information should the methods include? How can editors identify papers that need statistical review? How can editors interpret what statistical reviewers say? How can editors identify statisticians who are willing to review manuscripts?Keywords
