list of publications in your cv, you are statistically illiterate. ! ▪ If you are judging grant or promotion applications and find yourself scanning the applicant’s publications, checking off the impact factors, you are statistically illiterate. ! ▪ If you publish a journal that trumpets its impact factor in adverts or emails, you are statistically illiterate. (If you trumpet that impact factor to three decimal places, there is little hope for you.) ! ▪ If you see someone else using impact factors and make no attempt at correction, you connive at statistical illiteracy. • Stephen Curry
