The Biometrical Journal brings statistical methods and their applications to the life sciences including medicine , ecology and agriculture . Typical articles contain both the development of the methodology and its application. In addition to the articles, program code and data are published on the publisher's website to illustrate the methods and make the results reproducible . The code is reviewed by an appointed Reproducible Research Editor before being published as Supplementary Material .

history

Ten years after the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany ( FRG ) and the German Democratic Republic ( GDR ), Ottokar Heinisch ( Leipzig , GDR ) and Maria Pia Geppert ( Bad Nauheim , FRG ) began in 1959 to publish the biometric journal together at Akademie Verlag as the specialist journal the German region of the IBS, in which annual conferences have been held since 1953. Twelve years after the Berlin Wall was built and under pressure from the GDR , a separate GDR IBS region was set up in order to reduce contacts with the FRG . The magazine got its English title Biometrical Journal in 1976 when Erna Weber ( East Berlin ) was its editor. The two IBS regions reunited immediately after German reunification . Heinz Ahrens and Klaus Bellmann ensured the continuation of the Biometrical Journal . The reunified German Region (DR) has been running the restart of the Biometrical Journal as the region's magazine since 1994. Following an agreement with Akademie Verlag, the magazine was published “in cooperation with the German Region of IBS” and has since then been re-covered. 1997 Wiley-VCH Verlag (Berlin and Weinheim ) took over the magazine from Akademie Verlag (Berlin). The first editor after that was Jürgen Läuter ( Magdeburg ), followed by Peter Baur ( Vienna ). In 2004, the Austria-Switzerland and German regions of IBS and Wiley-VCH-Verlag decided that the two regions would subscribe to the electronic version and name the publishers, the first to be Edgar Brunner ( Göttingen ) and Martin Schumacher ( Freiburg ).
