Journal Title：Biostatistics

Among the important scientific developments of the 20th century is the explosive growth in statistical reasoning and methods for application to studies of human health. Examples include developments in likelihood methods for inference, epidemiologic statistics, clinical trials, survival analysis, and statistical genetics. Substantive problems in public health and biomedical research have fueled the development of statistical methods, which in turn have improved our ability to draw valid inferences from data. The objective of Biostatistics is to advance statistical science and its application to problems of human health and disease, with the ultimate goal of advancing the public's health.

20 世紀的重要科學發(fā)展之一是統(tǒng)計推理和方法在人類健康研究中的爆炸式增長。例子包括推理的似然法、流行病學統(tǒng)計、臨床試驗、生存分析和統(tǒng)計遺傳學的發(fā)展。公共衛(wèi)生和生物醫(yī)學研究中的實質性問題推動了統(tǒng)計方法的發(fā)展，這反過來又提高了我們從數(shù)據(jù)中得出有效推論的能力。生物統(tǒng)計學的目標是推進統(tǒng)計科學及其在人類健康和疾病問題中的應用，最終目標是促進公眾健康。

Biostatistics創(chuàng)刊于2000年，由Oxford University Press出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 數(shù)學與計算生物學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.8，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
