Labelling validity of results
Anyway, Spitshine over at A Bioinformatics Blog put up a post that made me chuckle this morning; Quantifying the margin of error in high-throughput data interpretation. The idea is to help readers work out the validity of claims made in a paper by labelling them with short acronyms:
[I5] Inferred from Perl script. 5 lines of Perl can't be wrong.Not that those are the three I'd end up using all of the time or anything. Go check it out...
[REV] Stinking reviewers didn't like our numbers. Have to put them into the acknowledgments.
[IA>] As high as we could get it to meet your expectations
