One reason may be that the authors do not fully understand what the reviewers are looking for. On the other hand, reviewers may disagree among themselves on the correct way to handle a given set of data. Thus an author may try to follow the same pattern of data analysis and presentation that was successful in a previous publication only to find it does not work the second time. The author might then wonder if the new manuscript just appears to be similar in structure to the old but really presents a new situation that requires a different methodology. Another difficulty authors face is that journals may have differing policies on how data should be analyzed. For example, multiple range tests, such as Duncan's, are often used to compare means. This may not necessarily be the best methodology, but many authors are of the opinion that reviewers and editors will demand this approach. The practice persists despite the fact that articles highly critical of the general use of multiple range tests have appeared in many different journals. Indeed, some plant science journals have attempted to replace the dogma of multiple range tests with alternative policies designed to force authors to make more meaningful analyses of means. These intentions are good and the new policies are definite improvements. However if the new policies are rigidly administered without an understanding of when exceptions are desirable and needed, there will be undesirable effects on author's presentations. The policy will be viewed as just another obstacle in the path toward publication. One then wonders if statistical review makes any difference other than to satisfy cranky reviewers and editors. It would be reasonable to ask if the Journal has a statistical "policy." The answer is that there is no formal policy, but we can offer some guidelines. This editor feels that it is important for an author to inform the reader of how data were collected. This is necessary to allow the reader to judge whether the experimental evidence supports the author's conclusions. If the data were collected from an experi­ ment, the author should describe the experimental design, the experimental units, the treatments, how the units were assigned to treatments, and how experimental error is estimated. Summary statistics such as means, standard deviations, and regression coeffi­ cients should be skillfully presented in tables, graphs, and in the text. 180 FROM THE EDITORS A clear connection between the statistics and the conclusions is imperative. Similar guidelines apply when data come from observa­ tional studies. Authors should not view the statistical treatment of a manuscript in terms of a hurdle to clear or a law to follow. Rather, the statistics should be used as the author's ally in clarifying and documenting strength of evidence. P. N. H. * * * * * The Iowa State Journal of Science was established in 1926. Now presently in Volume 60, threescore years, we have reached a venerable age for a journal of this type. In the initial issue, the famed bacteriologist, R. E. Buchanan, editor, listed some five reasons for establishment of the Journal. Of these the first was: First, to furnish a medium for the prompt publication of the results of research. Experience has shown that many of the technical and scientific journals are at present overcrowded, and it is frequently impossible to secure publication of an article for many months or even a year or more after acceptance. For this and the other stated reasons, the Journal was supported entirely
