Statistical Communications in Infectious Diseases is a new journal that will study the application of statistical ideas to problems arising from studies of infectious diseases, and will take a broad perspective, both theoretical and policy-oriented, on the role of statistics in infectious disease control efforts. The journal fosters much-needed rapid communication among statisticians on the best approaches to increasingly complex data on infectious disease, and is a venue for statisticians to enter a dialogue with other scientists and with policy makers on the strengths and limitations of methods for analysis in this important and hotly-debated area.

Statistical Communications in Infectious Diseases speaks to statisticians who develop and apply methods to advance research in infectious diseases, bioinformatics scholars who seek a deeper understanding of inferential techniques, and policy makers and stakeholders (including those at greatest risk of infection) who appreciate the importance of statistical expertise in policy formulation.
