Description:
Statistics & Probability Letters adopts a novel and highly innovative approach to the publication of research findings in
statistics and
probability. It features concise articles, rapid publication and broad coverage of the statistics and probability
literature.
Statistics & Probability Letters is a refereed journal. Articles will be limited to six journal pages (13
double-space typed pages) including references and figures. Apart from the six-page limitation, originality, quality and clarity will
be the criteria for choosing the material to be published in
Statistics & Probability Letters. Every attempt will be made
to provide the first review of a submitted manuscript within three months of
submission.
The proliferation of literature and long publication delays have made it difficult for researchers and practitioners to keep up with
new developments outside of, or even within, their specialization. The aim of
Statistics & Probability Letters is to help
to alleviate this problem. Concise communications (letters) allow readers to quickly and easily digest large amounts of material and
to stay up-to-date with developments in all areas of statistics and probability.
The mainstream of
Letters will focus on
new
statistical methods, theoretical results, and innovative applications of statistics and probability to other scientific disciplines.
Key results and central ideas must be presented in a clear and concise manner. These results may be part of a larger study that the author
will submit at a later time as a full length paper to SPL or to another journal. Theory and methodology may be published with proofs
omitted, or only sketched, but only if sufficient support material is provided so that the findings can be verified. Empirical and computational
results that are of significant value will be published. We also plan to publish applications and case studies that demonstrate a novel
use of existing techniques or have interesting innovative ideas about data collection, modelling or inference.
