Guidelines for Writing Outcome

4.2K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test

4.2K
Sometimes, a data set can have a recorded numerical observation that greatly  deviates from the rest of the data. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, a statistical method called the Grubbs test can be used to determine whether the observation is truly an outlier.  To perform a two-tailed Grubbs test, first, calculate the absolute difference between the outlier and the mean. Then, calculate the ratio between this difference and the standard deviation of the sample. This...

Detection of Gross Error: The Q Test

7.1K
When one or more data points appear far from the rest of the data, there is a need to determine whether they are outliers and whether they should be eliminated from the data set to ensure an accurate representation of the measured value. In many cases, outliers arise from gross errors (or human errors) and do not accurately reflect the underlying phenomenon. In some cases, however, these apparent outliers reflect true phenomenological differences. In these cases, we can use statistical methods...

Area of Science:

  • Scholarly communication
  • Academic publishing ethics

Background:

  • Publishing is increasingly challenging due to stringent ethics and heightened scrutiny.
  • Academics face pressure to publish efficiently in a complex environment.
  • Desk rejections, manuscript refusal before peer review, are a concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the characteristics of desk rejections.
  • To offer guidelines for valid, fair, and ethical desk rejections.
  • To advocate for accountability in the academic publishing process.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of desk rejection features.
  • Development of guidelines for editors and publishers.

Main Results:

  • Desk rejections can be unfair, unsubstantiated, or delayed.
  • Clear, evidence-based reasons are expected for manuscript rejection.
  • Improved processes are needed to ensure fairness and efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • Desk rejections must be valid, fair, and ethical.
  • Editors and publishers should be accountable for timely and justified decisions.
  • Protecting academics' time and resources is crucial in scholarly publishing.
