EDITORIAL

It Is All in the Numbers

STANTON A. GLANTZ, PhD, FACC, ASSOCIATE EDITOR, JACC   San Francisco, California

  "The new editors of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology have decided that one of the editors should be responsible for ensuring the statistical accuracy of studies published in the Journal. We have implemented this quality control by ensuring that every manuscript that is returned to an author for revisions is first reviewed for statistical issues."
