Statistical tests are commonly reported in papers published in the journal. The interpretation of the statistical results, however, is not necessarily proper, which may invalidate the conclusions. This paper describes the issues regarding the interpretation of the results of statistical tests in the journal, and refers to the proper use of statistical test and estimation.
