Clinical Oncology Editorial Comments
Statistics and Clinical Oncology The leading Editorial in this issue of Clinical Oncology is presented by the two statisticians who sit on our Editorial Board and who have undertaken the immense task of subjecting all appropriate articles submitted to the Journal to detailed statistical review, in addition to the normal process of peer review. This is a task they have undertaken willingly and efficiently, and which has resulted in many cases in the submitting authors recognising 'significant' improvements in their manuscripts. The Editorial is written to help submitting authors to identify with ease the statistical requirements for analysing and presenting the data contained in their work, and succeeds in providing guidelines almost at a glance. Where a topic is extensive or complicated, clear reference is made to additional sources of information that should be consulted. The guidelines will also make useful reading for those planning prospective studies, if they do not have easy access to professional statistical expertise. We recommend the article as essential reading for all submitting authors, to maintain the high standards that are now being achieved in the Journal and to ease the burden on our statisticians, to whom we extend our sincere thanks.

Assistant Editor (Editorials)
Notice of Potential Duplicate Publication The Editors of Clinical Oncology , Clinical Radiology and the British Journal of Radiology are publishing this notice in their respective Journals simultaneously. The Editors wish to draw the attention of readers to the fact that intentional submission for duplicate publication of the same or substantially similar subject matter is a matter for deprecation. Furthermore, it is in contravention of our Instructions to Authors, and to internationally agreed guidelines. It also potentially leaves the authors and the journals open to litigation under the copyright laws.
