Biostatistics

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 世纪的重要科学发展之一是统计推理和方法在人类健康研究中的爆炸式增长。例子包括推理的似然法、流行病学统计、临床试验、生存分析和统计遗传学的发展。公共卫生和生物医学研究中的实质性问题推动了统计方法的发展，这反过来又提高了我们从数据中得出有效推论的能力。生物统计学的目标是推进统计科学及其在人类健康和疾病问题中的应用，最终目标是促进公众健康。

Biostatistics创刊于2000年，由Oxford University Press出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖生物 - 数学与计算生物学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 较慢,6-12周 ，影响因子指数1.8，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
