Next in the section will be on ‘Statistics for clinical research: basic to advance’. Peer-review platform is not working as needed and decided upon to develop one. All the editors need to understand the conflict of interest for editors. For advance online publication, digital object identifier (DOI) will be applied directly to Crossref.
