Statistics publishing requirements
Statistics and data science manuscripts are increasingly expected to provide reproducible analyses with complete code and data. Leading statistics journals (Journal of the American Statistical Association, Annals of Statistics, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society) have adopted reproducibility policies requiring authors to provide R, Python, or Julia code alongside simulation and real-data analyses. Simulation studies must follow reporting standards (ADEMP framework). Theoretical papers must include proof sketches or full proofs with rigorous mathematical notation.
Statistics-specific checks
Code availability
Check for analysis code availability statement and repository link.
Simulation study reporting
Validate simulation design describes DGP, sample sizes, and number of replications.
Reproducibility statement
Check that results can be reproduced from provided code and data.
Notation consistency
Validate mathematical notation is used consistently throughout the paper.
Package citations
Verify that R/Python packages used are cited with version numbers.
Assumption statements
Flag theoretical results missing explicit statement of required assumptions.

The practical edge your peers already use
Across disciplines and career stages, researchers reduce bottlenecks and submit with confidence: clearer drafts, easier guideline compliance, and less back and forth with co‑authors and reviewers.
I use it to review my students' papers. It instantly highlights typos, missing references, and unclear sections, helping me focus my feedback on the quality of the research instead of surface errors.
Ilyass
Professor in Mechanical Engineering, ÉTS Montréal
I relied on it throughout my thesis to strengthen my writing. It suggested clearer phrasing, improved flow between sections, and ensured my references were complete before the final deadline.
Manon
Master's Student in Speech Therapy
I write research in both Portuguese and English, and it adapts perfectly to either language. It provided precise feedback in Portuguese, helping me maintain academic tone and consistency across my drafts.
Afonso
PhD Candidate, UFPE
It gave excellent advice on how to rephrase and present ideas more clearly and concisely. The suggestions helped me refine my arguments and make my research more impactful.
Félix
Postdoc Researcher, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
A round of suggestions helped to generally refine the text of my paper and, moreover, to present some of its key points in a more focused form.

Frequently asked questions
Leading statistics journals require complete code and data to reproduce all results. JASA, JRSS-B, and other top journals have formal reproducibility checks. Code should be self-contained, with a README explaining how to run it.
Use the ADEMP framework: describe the Aims, Data-generating mechanisms, Estimands, Methods, and Performance measures. Report results for all sample sizes and conditions, not only favorable ones. Include confidence intervals on simulation estimates.
