Demystify:
Et al,
A very famous early anatomist, Virchow, started a journal called Vichow's Archives a very long time ago. He didn't believe in peer review (which I do) and said something to the effect of "Any person may make a fool of himself in the pages of my journal." I totally agree with Harry: while figures don't lie but liars figure, at least unless you're just saying "I had this interesting experience" vignette, a Power Analysis would be a good idea.
> "Experimental Approach" and "Design" in this context could include more description on the organizational structures, cultural norms, and regulatory environment where the techniques are being introduced.
I agree that there are many papers where this would be very helpful information to include. Perhaps the Journal could identify key factors that could be used to describe these elements? It sounds like an important leadership opportunity to think through how to describe the context of professional safety work.
Thanks for this suggestion.
