Statistics in Biosciences

期刊简介：Statistics in Biosciences (SIBS) is published three times a year in print and electronic form. It aims at development and application of statistical methods and their interface with other quantitative methods, such as computational and mathematical methods, in biological and life science, health science, and biopharmaceutical and biotechnological science.SIBS publishes scientific papers and review articles in four sections, with the first two sections as the primary sections. Original Articles publish novel statistical and quantitative methods in biosciences. The Bioscience Case Studies and Practice Articles publish papers that advance statistical practice in biosciences, such as case studies, innovative applications of existing methods that further understanding of subject-matter science, evaluation of existing methods and data sources. Review Articles publish papers that review an area of statistical and quantitative methodology, software, and data sources in biosciences. Commentaries provide perspectives of research topics or policy issues that are of current quantitative interest in biosciences, reactions to an article published in the journal, and scholarly essays. Substantive science is essential in motivating and demonstrating the methodological development and use for an article to be acceptable. Articles published in SIBS share the goal of promoting evidence-based real world practice and policy making through effective and timely interaction and communication of statisticians and quantitative researchers with subject-matter scientists in biosciences.

【译文】《生物科学统计学》（SIBS）每年印刷和电子版各出版三次。该期刊旨在发展和应用统计方法，以及它们与生物和生命科学、健康科学、生物制药和生物技术科学中的计算和数学方法等其他定量方法之间的接口。SIBS在四个部分中发表科学论文和综述文章，前两部分为主要部分。原创文章发表生物科学中的新颖统计和定量方法。生物科学案例研究和实践文章发表推进生物科学中统计实践的文章，如案例研究、现有方法的创新应用，以进一步理解学科科学，评估现有方法和数据来源。综述文章发表回顾生物科学中统计和定量方法、软件和数据来源的文章。评论提供生物科学中当前定量感兴趣的研究主题或政策问题的观点，对期刊上发表的文章的反应，以及学术论文。实质性科学对于激励和证明文章的方法论发展和使用至关重要。SIBS发表的文章旨在通过统计学家和定量研究人员与生物科学学科科学家之间的有效和及时的互动和沟通，促进基于证据的现实世界实践和政策制定。
