Scientific Writing —What's in a Word
Most authors and readers know they need to be careful not to overstate findings, to distinguish between causation and association, and to accurately represent the data.

It is the job of the JNEB editorial staff to carefully review submissions for content and potential impact on the field. (Source: Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior)
