Editorial

Dear readers, reviewers and editorial board members,

Greetings from Biostatistics and Epidemiology International Journal (BEIJ). In modern era,the vital role of statistics is not only confined to medical research, but also is applicable in almost all disciplines of science. In this scenario,statisticians need to shoulder a bigger responsibility to contribute in scientific research by gaining expertise not only in statistics but also in the discipline they are deploying statistical principles. Statistics is not as straight forward asother disciplines, in which same principle is applicable in all circumstances (e.g. ‘force is mass multiplied by acceleration’ is always applicable).Abiostatistician needs to first understand life science data well and then deploy appropriate statistical methods for the task (e.g. choosing parametric or non-parametric method). Due to vast expansions of medical research and epidemiology, biostatisticians have become an inherent part of health care research and this prestigious journal ‘BEIJ’is dedicated to publishingresearch in this field. In this letter, I am trying to appeal to all reviewers and editorial board members to contribute to best of their efforts by selecting scientifically strong research material to be published in this journal,thereby developing scientifically strong biostatistical talent across the globe. A request to all readers of this journal to not only read more and research material published in this journal but also create an awareness in the Biostatistics and Epidemiology society about the high standards of quality of research published here. We encourage all readers to submit their scientifically strong research material to be considered for publication. Let us contribute towards building a healthier world by performing high level of biostatistical research and showing it to the world by publishing in this prestigious journal. All the best!!!

On behalf of board members of BEIJ,
Dr. Manoj Kumar Yadav
