Abstract
The word ‘significant’ is widely used in scientific papers. A PubMed search for ‘significant’ in June 2014 yielded more than two million results! But the word ‘significant’ has several meanings, and so is often misunderstood. There is a simple way to avoid this confusion: Avoid the word ‘significant’ and use alternative wording.
