代表國際生物計量學會出版的《生物計量學》強調了統(tǒng)計學和數學在生物科學中的作用。它的目標是通過報告這些方法的發(fā)展和應用，促進和擴大在生物科學的主要學科中使用統(tǒng)計和數學方法。大多數生物計量學文章的核心是科學應用，它設定科學或政策目標，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)計學方法學部分主要介紹了生物科學中新方法的開發(fā)和應用結果。生物計量學實踐部分包含的論文涉及方法的創(chuàng)新應用，并提供實際的貢獻和指導，生物學見解，和/或重要的新發(fā)現(xiàn)。讀者的反應論文直接指以前發(fā)表在期刊上的文章，而給編輯的信件則對期刊及其內容提供評論和建議。

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.
