Journal Of The Royal Statistical Society Series A-statistics In Society

Series A (Statistics in Society) publishes high quality papers that demonstrate how statistical thinking, design and analyses play a vital role in all walks of life and benefit society in general. There is no restriction on subject-matter: any interesting, topical and revelatory applications of statistics are welcome. For example, important applications of statistical and related data science methodology in medicine, business and commerce, industry, economics and finance, education and teaching, physical and biomedical sciences, the environment, the law, government and politics, demography, psychology, sociology and sport all fall within the journal's remit. The journal is therefore aimed at a wide statistical audience and at professional statisticians in particular. Its emphasis is on well-written and clearly reasoned quantitative approaches to problems in the real world rather than the exposition of technical detail. Thus, although the methodological basis of papers must be sound and adequately explained, methodology per se should not be the main focus of a Series A paper. Of particular interest are papers on topical or contentious statistical issues, papers which give reviews or exposés of current statistical concerns and papers which demonstrate how appropriate statistical thinking has contributed to our understanding of important substantive questions. Historical, professional and biographical contributions are also welcome, as are discussions of methods of data collection and of ethical issues, provided that all such papers have substantial statistical relevance.

A 系列（社会统计学）发表高质量论文，这些论文展示了统计思维、设计和分析如何在各行各业发挥重要作用并造福整个社会。对主题没有限制：欢迎任何有趣、主题鲜明和具有启发性的统计学应用。例如，统计和相关数据科学方法在医学、商业和贸易、工业、经济和金融、教育和教学、物理和生物医学、环境、法律、政府和政治、人口统计学、心理学、社会学和体育领域的重要应用都属于该期刊的职责范围。因此，该期刊面向广泛的统计受众，尤其是专业统计学家。其重点是写得好、推理清晰的定量方法来解决现实世界中的问题，而不是阐述技术细节。因此，尽管论文的方法论基础必须合理且得到充分解释，但方法论本身不应成为 A 系列论文的主要焦点。特别值得关注的是有关热门或有争议的统计问题的论文、对当前统计问题进行评论或揭露的论文以及展示适当的统计思维如何有助于我们理解重要实质性问题的论文。历史、专业和传记方面的贡献也受到欢迎，关于数据收集方法和道德问题的讨论也是如此，前提是所有这些论文都具有实质性的统计相关性。
