PURPOSEWe aimed to evaluate articles in radiology journals indexed in the Science Citation Index or Science Citation Index Expanded in terms of statistical errors. By this means, we aim to contribute tothe production of high quality scientific publications.METHODSIn this study, a total of 157 articles published in 2016–2017 in 20 radiology journals were reviewed randomly. Selected articles were evaluated for statistical errors regarding P values andstatistical tests, and for errors in terminology and other errors related to interpretation. In addition, in order to examine whether the error rates of the articles published in the radiologyjournals differed according to the impact factor, the statistical errors were compared accordingto the impact factors of the journals.RESULTSOf the 157 articles published in radiology journals, 10 had no statistical errors, while 147 hadat least one statistical error. The most frequently encountered error was “errors in summarizingdata” with a rate of 66%. This was followed by “incorrect representation of P values” with a rateof 42%. The least frequently encountered error was “statistical symbol errors” with a rate of 3%.There was no statistically significant difference according to impact factors.CONCLUSIONIn conclusion, radiology journals, as do journals in different fields, include articles containingstatistical errors. Even when the quality of the journal increases, there is no difference in thesestatistical error rates. In order to prevent statistical errors in manuscripts, there are responsibilities for both the researchers who conduct scientific studies and the editors who publish thesestudies in their journals. Researchers should have a basic statistical knowledge, and the editormust submit all manuscripts for a statistical review.
