2. Journal of the American Statistical Association

Established in 1888 and published quarterly in March, June, September, and December, the Journal of the American Statistical Association ( JASA ) has long been considered the premier journal of statistical science. Articles focus on statistical applications, theory, and methods throughout all disciplines that make use of data, including economic, social, biological, physical, engineering, and health sciences and the humanities. Important books contributing to statistical advancement are reviewed in JASA . more...

3. Annals of Mathematics

The Annals of Mathematics is published bimonthly by the Department of Mathematics of  Princeton University  with the cooperation of the Institute for Advanced Study. Founded in 1884 by Ormond Stone of the University of Virginia, the journal was transferred in 1899 to Harvard University, and in 1911 to Princeton University. Since 1933, the Annals has been edited jointly by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study. more...

4. Journal of Business and Economic Statistics

The Journal of Business and Economic Statistics ( JBES ) publishes a range of articles, primarily applied statistical analyses of microeconomic, macroeconomic, forecasting, business, and finance related topics. More general papers in statistics, econometrics, computation, simulation, or graphics are also appropriate if they are immediately applicable to the journal's general topics of interest. Articles published in JBES contain significant results, high-quality methodological content, excellent exposition, and usually include a substantive empirical application. more...

5. Journal of Finance and Data Science

The Journal of Finance and Data Science (JFDS) is the leading analytical journal on finance and data science, providing detailed analyses of theoretical and empirical foundations and their applications in financial economics. JFDS publishes evaluations of both well-established and new theories using financial data, data-scientific measurements of variables relevant to financial decision-making and financial service, the econometrics of financial market data, and the development of new econometric methodologies with financial applications. JFDS also provides readers with results-oriented computer hardware and software treatments and enhanced treatment of more...

6. Biometrika

Biometrika is primarily a journal of statistics in which emphasis is placed on papers containing original theoretical contributions of direct or potential value in applications. From time to time, papers in bordering fields are also published. more...

7. Sankhya B

Sankhya, Series A, publishes original, high quality research articles in various areas of modern statistics, such as probability, theoretical statistics, mathematical statistics and machine learning. The areas are interpreted in a broad sense. Articles are judged on the basis of their novelty and technical correctness. Sankhya, Series B, primarily covers applied and interdisciplinary statistics including data sciences. Applied articles should preferably include analysis of original data of broad interest, novel applications of methodology and development of methods and techniques of immediate more...

8. Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research

The Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research (PJSOR) was started in 2005 with the aim of promoting and sharing scientific developments in the field of statistics. PJSOR is a double-blinded peer-reviewed publication containing articles about Statistics, Data Analysis, Teaching Methods, Operational Research, Actuarial Statistics, and the application of statistical methods in a variety of disciplines. Publishing in PJSOR is absolutely free of charge (No Article Processing Charges).  more...

9. Global and Stochastic Analysis

The Aim and scope of Global and Stochastic Analysis (GSA) also includes Global Analysis (in particular, Analysis on manifolds, Nonlinear Analysis and all kinds of Dynamical Systems), Stochastic Analysis (focusing at Stochastic Analysis on manifolds) and their applications to mathematical physics, to the other branches of science and to economical models (focusing at the combinations of global-analytic and stochastic methods). Of course, the related topics are also acceptable. The Journal provides a rapid forum for the dissemination of original research articles as well as more...

10. Annals of Statistics

The Annals of Statistics aim to publish research papers of highest quality reflecting the many facets of contemporary statistics. Primary emphasis is placed on importance and originality, not on formalism. The journal aims to cover all areas of statistics, especially mathematical statistics and applied & interdisciplinary statistics. Of course many of the best papers will touch on more than one of these general areas, because the discipline of statistics has deep roots in mathematics, and in substantive scientific fields. more...
