Journal Title：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（社會統計學）發表高質量論文，這些論文展示了統計思維、設計和分析如何在各行各業發揮重要作用并造福整個社會。對主題沒有限制：歡迎任何有趣、主題鮮明和具有啟發性的統計學應用。例如，統計和相關數據科學方法在醫學、商業和貿易、工業、經濟和金融、教育和教學、物理和生物醫學、環境、法律、政府和政治、人口統計學、心理學、社會學和體育領域的重要應用都屬于該期刊的職責范圍。因此，該期刊面向廣泛的統計受眾，尤其是專業統計學家。其重點是寫得好、推理清晰的定量方法來解決現實世界中的問題，而不是闡述技術細節。因此，盡管論文的方法論基礎必須合理且得到充分解釋，但方法論本身不應成為 A 系列論文的主要焦點。特別值得關注的是有關熱門或有爭議的統計問題的論文、對當前統計問題進行評論或揭露的論文以及展示適當的統計思維如何有助于我們理解重要實質性問題的論文。歷史、專業和傳記方面的貢獻也受到歡迎，關于數據收集方法和道德問題的討論也是如此，前提是所有這些論文都具有實質性的統計相關性。
