Editorial NoteAs discussed in a recent editorial, the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) rescinds the Expression of Concern [1] for a recent network meta-analysis (NMA) [2] that was issued solely on the basis of comments by Professor Maher and colleagues [3]. The original authors (Dr Belavy and colleagues) have responded [4]. The original NMA paper did not require any changes. We editors of the BJSM have full confidence in the findings of the NMA [2]. The findings of the NMA inform clinical practice and can serve to inform clinical practice guidelines.Karim Khan, MD, PhDEditor-in-Chief, BJSMJuly 27th, 2020REFERENCES1 Expression of concern: Which specific modes of exercise training are most effective for treating low back pain?

The current study presents a Bayesian re-analysis of a meta-analysis publisehd by Zheng and colleagues (2016) in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. The current findings generally comport with those of Zheng and colleagues, suggesting a modest effect, especially on global cognition.

Recent Editorial

A recent editorial in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) suggested instrumental var-iable (IV) analysis has advantages in estimating causal effects when there is low compliance. We originally submitted a version of this commentary to BJSM as an editorial (they do not have a letter to editor section) but it was rejected without review. The original BJSM editorial included several important errors, presented results that are inconsistent with the results of an IV analysis, and omitted definitions and important limitations. All of these factors contrib-uted to inappropriate interpretations. This commentary highlights the most important er-rors. We also believe the BJSM editorial serves as another reminder that appropriate statisti-cians should be included from the beginning of the study wherever possible. At the very least, they should be the co-authors responsible for calculating results and ensuring the write-up is consistent with the results.

Methodological Errors

Request of retraction or errata corrige (submitted to the British Journal of Sports Medicine) of the ACWR-likelihood of injury model proposed in two editorials by Blanch and Gabbett (2016) and by Gabbett (2016). The letter highlights the methodological errors making this figure (model) unreliable. According to the COPE criteria, we required a corrective action to avoid further popularisation of this flawed figure also published in the IOC consensus on training load (Soligard et al. 2016) where it was presented as a validated model.

Social Media and blogs are increasingly used in the everyday life and also by scientists to share their work and communicate with colleagues all around the world. In addition, blogs are believed to be valuable educational tools. This article highlights, through examples taken from the blog of the ­British Journal of Sports Medicine, the educational benefits for students to commit to a blog.
