Hello
I wasn't really sure which category I should post this under...
I'm submitting a journal for publication and my target journal guidelines state: "authors should note that the journal uses a zero before a decimal number less than one." I had learnt the rule that when a value could not exceed one (e.g., a p value or correlation coefficient), the leading zero should always be omitted (e.g., .05). Do you think that this stipulation in their guidance should over-rule that rule, i.e., that I should include the leading zero regardless?
Thank you :-)
