    Significant statistics
    1. Bernd Pulverer1
    1. 1 EMBO Scientific Publications, The EMBO Journal

    Appropriate statistical analysis is vital to the integrity of the scientific record, but experience and intuition also play a role in interpreting results. Scientific progress should not be hampered through statistical over‐evaluation.

    To hype, or not to(o) hypeCommunication of science is often tarnished by sensationalization, for which both scientists and the media are responsible

    Communication of science is often tarnished by sensationalization, for which both scientists and the media are responsible

    1. Andrea Rinaldi1,†
    1. 1 Cagliari, Italy

    Scientists and journalists try to engage the public with exciting stories, but who is guilty of overselling research and what are the consequences?

    How good is research really?Measuring the citation impact of publications with percentiles increases correct assessments and fair comparisons

    Measuring the citation impact of publications with percentiles increases correct assessments and fair comparisons

    Bibliometrics increasingly determine the allocation of jobs and funding in science. Bibliometricians must therefore develop and adopt reliable measures of quality that truly reflect a scientist's contribution to his or her field.

    The benefits of and challenges for publishing scientific journals in and by emerging countries

    1. Rogerio Meneghini1
    1. 1 Scientific Coordinator of the Scientific Electronic Library SciELO, São Paulo, Brasil

    Emerging countries have established national scientific journals as an alternative publication route for their researchers. However, these journals eventually need to catch up to international standards.

    More than a blogShould science bloggers stick to popularizing science and fighting creationism, or does blogging have a wider role to play in the scientific discourse?

    Should science bloggers stick to popularizing science and fighting creationism, or does blogging have a wider role to play in the scientific discourse?

    1. Howard Wolinsky1
    1. 1 Chicago, Illinois, USA

    Blogging is circumventing traditional communication channels and levelling the playing field of science communication. It helps scientists, journalists and interested laypeople to make their voices heard.

    From and to a very grey area
    1. Howy Jacobs

    The German Minister of Defence recently resigned after accusations that he plagiarized parts of the doctoral thesis. Howy argues that academia needs to refine and enforce its rules against such practices, in the new world of electronic publication.

    Exorcising ghostwriting…Ghostwriting could potentially have serious repercussions for science and should therefore be treated as research misconduct

    Ghostwriting could potentially have serious repercussions for science and should therefore be treated as research misconduct

    1. Xavier Bosch1
    1. 1 Hospital Clinic and associate professor of Medicine at the University of Barcelona, Spain

    Ghostwriting violates the ethical standards of scientific research and publishing and can be dangerous to the public where medicine is concerned. Journals, funders and research organizations must adopt stricter procedures for ‘ghostbusting’.
