Published on behalf of the International Biometric Society, Biometrics emphasizes the role of statistics and mathematics in the biosciences. Its objectives are to promote and extend the use of statistical and mathematical methods in the principal disciplines of biosciences by reporting on the development and application of these methods. A centerpiece of most Biometrics articles is scientific application that sets scientific or policy objectives, motivates methods development, and demonstrates the operations of new methods.Papers in the journal appear in one of four sections. The Biometric Methodology section presents papers that focus on the development of new methods and results of use in the biosciences. The Biometric Practice section contains papers involving innovative applications of methods and providing practical contributions and guidance, biological insight, and/or significant new findings. Reader Reaction papers refer directly to articles previously published in the journal, and Letters to the Editors provide comments and suggestions on the journal and its content.

代表國際生物計量學(xué)會出版的《生物計量學(xué)》強調(diào)了統(tǒng)計學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)在生物科學(xué)中的作用。它的目標是通過報告這些方法的發(fā)展和應(yīng)用，促進和擴大在生物科學(xué)的主要學(xué)科中使用統(tǒng)計和數(shù)學(xué)方法。大多數(shù)生物計量學(xué)文章的核心是科學(xué)應(yīng)用，它設(shè)定科學(xué)或政策目標，推動方法開發(fā)，并演示新方法的操作。該雜志的論文分四部分發(fā)表。生物統(tǒng)計學(xué)方法學(xué)部分主要介紹了生物科學(xué)中新方法的開發(fā)和應(yīng)用結(jié)果。生物計量學(xué)實踐部分包含的論文涉及方法的創(chuàng)新應(yīng)用，并提供實際的貢獻和指導(dǎo)，生物學(xué)見解，和/或重要的新發(fā)現(xiàn)。讀者的反應(yīng)論文直接指以前發(fā)表在期刊上的文章，而給編輯的信件則對期刊及其內(nèi)容提供評論和建議。
