About the journal

 

Published on behalf of the International Biometric Society, Biometrics emphasizes the role of statistics and mathematics in the biological sciences. Its object is to promote and extend the use of mathematical and statistical methods in pure and applied biological sciences by describing developments in these methods and their applications in a form readily assimilable by experimental scientists.

Instructions to Authors

 

TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS ACCEPTED:
   Regular Communications: Regular papers generally focus on the development of new methods and results of use in the biological sciences. These should, where possible, be made accessible to biologists and other subject-matter scientists by the inclusion of an introductory section outlining the application and scientific objectives on which the new methods focus, with discussion of real data or settings that exemplify the issue being addressed. The journal typically insists on illustration of new methods with real data wherever possible. Extensive mathematical derivations and proofs should be removed to an appendix. 
   Consultants Forum: This section of the journal is suitable for papers illustrating the application of existing methods to new areas where they have not been previously used and permit new biological insights, papers clarifying or contrasting existing methods, or papers providing new guidance or tools for new or common data-analytic challenges. 
   Reader Reaction: Reader Reaction papers refer directly to articles previously published in the journal. These may describe extensions of or improvements to methods developed in a published article, offer alternative perspectives to those advocated in a published article, or raise relevant issues unaddressed in a published article, in each case supported by appropriate justification. 
   Letters to the Editors: Letters to the editors are welcomed, but must be short and to the point.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Manuscripts may be submitted by either regular postal mail or email; email is strongly encouraged. Manuscripts submitted by postal mail should be sent to the central office location: Biometrics (Central Office), Ann Hanhart, Editorial Assistant, Department of Physics, The University of Texas at Arlington, P.O. Box 19059, Arlington, TX 76019-0059; five copies of the paper are required. In addition, five copies of unpublished papers (written by one or more of the authors) relevant to the submitted paper are required, along with a letter to the editors detailing how the submitted paper differs from the others. Manuscripts submitted electronically should be sent by email to biometrics@stat.tamu.edu. A postscript or portable document format (pdf) file is  referred; files containing any related papers should also be sent along with an explanation as above. Full details on electronic submission may be found at  http://stat.tamu.edu/Biometrics.
   Papers should be typed on one side of each page, with one-inch margins, in 12-point size letters and no more than 25 lines per page, doublespaced throughout. A one-paragraph summary should be included completely summarizing the paper without repeating, verbatim, sentences from the paper. Authors should use the [{( )}] convention in delimiting equations. Figures and tables should be separated from the main text. References should be typed in Biometrics style. Detailed algebraic derivations should be placed in an appendix. Further details are available at http://stat.tamu.edu/Biometrics
   Normally, papers exceeding 25 pages in the style described above will be returned to the authors by the co-editor without review. Authors should be aware that it is difficult to obtain timely review of long papers, and editors generally insist on shortening anyway. Please note that the page limit includes references and appendices, but not tables and figures. Papers appearing in the journal rarely have more than six (6) tables or figures combined; about three-fourths have four (4) or fewer. When papers contain numerous tables and figures, editors will always ask that the number be reduced. Authors are strongly encouraged to be judicious in the use of tabular and graphical displays and should not combine what ought to be several tables or figures into very large single ones. Papers with an extreme number of tables and/or figures may be returned by the
co-editor without review.
   Statistics on time to first review of papers can be found at
http://stat.tamu.edu/Biometrics.

NOTES ON THE PREPARATION OF PAPERS: A current issue may be used as a general guide to style. The following notes summarize some of the principal points.

A SUMMARY, one paragraph long, should be included completely summarizing the paper without repeating, verbatim, sentences from the paper. In the summary, mathematical symbols should be avoided and any references to previous work should be given in full. Key words or phrases are listed after the summary. The author¡¯s name should be followed by a full postal address and email address.

REFERENCES in the text should be ordered by author¡¯s surname and publication date. In publications by three authors, all are listed the first time, and et al. used subsequently. For four or more authors, et al. is used throughout. In the list of references at the end of the paper, authors should be listed alphabetically by last name. Journal titles should be
complete and not abbreviated. Careful attention should be given to the format used in recent issues.

TABLES AND FIGURES should represent only essential material. They should be placed on separate sheets and identified by Arabic numerals and a short descriptive title. Diagrams or graphs created by common computer software packages such as SAS, Splus, MATLAB, GAUSS, etc. are usually acceptable, and should be in black on white. Alternatively, if such software is not used, original diagrams or graphs may be executed in India ink, and coordinate lines, where needed, should be ruled in black, and all lettering and numbering must be inserted on the original. For printing, illustrations may be reduced to 1/2 or 1/3 their original dimensions; therefore, for all types of illustrations, lines should be of sufficient thickness, and lettering, numbering, decimal points, periods, dots, and plotting symbols should be large enough to reproduce
well and be legible when reduced in size. The placement of all tables and figures should be noted within the text. The only lines appearing on a table should be horizontal.  All decimals and numbers should be aligned in columns.

AUTHOR ALTERATIONS on proofs may be charged to the author.
To minimize these, please check your manuscript thoroughly.

BOOKS FOR REVIEW should be sent to Iris Pigeot, University of Bremen, Department of  Mathematics/Computer Science, Institute of Statistics Postfach 33 04 40, D-28334 Bremen, Germany, email: pigeot@uni-bremen.de.
NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS should be sent to Tom Ten Have, Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Blockley Hall, 6th Floor, 423 Guardian Drive, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, U.S.A. email: ttenhave@cceb.upenn.edu
