The journal Scienceis adding an extra round of statistical checks to its peer-review process,editor-in-chief Marcia McNutt announced today. The policy follows similarefforts from other journals, after widespread concern that basic mistakes indata analysis are contributing to the irreproducibility of many publishedresearch findings.
“Readers must haveconfidence in the conclusions published in our journal,” writes McNutt in an editorial. Working with the AmericanStatistical Association, the journal has appointed seven experts to astatistics board of reviewing editors (SBoRE). Manuscript will be flagged upfor additional scrutiny by the journal’s internaleditors, or by its existing Board of Reviewing Editors or by outside peerreviewers. The SBoRE panel will then find external statisticians to reviewthese manuscripts.
Asked whether anyparticular papers had impelled the change, McNutt said: “The creation of the ‘statistics board’ was motivated by concernsbroadly with the application of statistics and data analysis in scientificresearch and is part of Science’s overall drive toincrease reproducibility in the research we publish.”
Giovanni Parmigiani,a biostatistician at the Harvard School of Public Health, a member of the SBoREgroup, says he expects the board to “play primarily an advisory role.” He agreedto join because he “found the foresight behind theestablishment of the SBoRE to be novel, unique and likely to have a lastingimpact. This impact will not only be through the publications in Scienceitself, but hopefully through a larger group of publishing places that may wantto model their approach after Science.”
