© 2021 Indian Journal of Anaesthesia | Published by Wolters Kluwer Medknow For the advancement of science, it is essential to identify and correct errors that occur in the process of investigation. It is not surprising to know that a significant number of articles even in top-ranking journals continue to have errors in the study design, methodology and statistics.[1] It is interesting to note that in its early years, the original articles submitted for publication to the Indian Journal of Anaesthesia (IJA) lacked sufficient details of data analysis except for a mention of the “mean” and “P value <0.05”. However, over the years, there has been a significant improvement in their quality.[2-12] The research process has undergone continual evolution with the proper application of sound research ethics, study methodology, ways of interpretation of observations and presentation.
