Over 80% of articles rejected by journals are turned down as the result of poor research methods. We have coined the term “Stataphobia” to indicate the fear of statistics that researchers have, as the research methods almost always determine if an article will be rejected.  We can attack Stataphobia by building capacity as in the EMRO region there are over 800 clinicians for every person trained in statistics.
