Aims and scope

The Chilean Journal of Statistics (ChJS) is an international scientific forum strongly committed to open access, gender equality, and the free dissemination of knowledge in the data era. The journal covers a broad range of topics in statistics, data science, machine learning, and big data. The ChJS welcomes research, review, and discussion articles. Submissions may focus on areas such as:

• Statistical theory and methods.
• Statistical computation and simulation.
• Development of statistical software.
• Topics related to data science.

All articles must demonstrate innovation and scientific rigor, be supported by simulations when appropriate, and include a real-world application or clear relevance to practice.

Commitment to sustainable development goals

The ChJS aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by promoting open science, advancing statistical education and innovation, as well as supporting data-driven decision-making for societal benefit.

In particular, the ChJS contributes (among others) to:

• [SDG 3] Good health and well-being – through statistical methods in medical and epidemiological research.
• [SDG 4] Quality education – by supporting statistical literacy and methodological advancements in education.
• [SDG 9] Industry, innovation and infrastructure – via data science and analytics in technology and industry.
• [SDG 11] Sustainable cities and communities – via statistics for urban planning and sustainability.
• [SDG 17] Partnerships for the goals – through interdisciplinary collaborations and open-access dissemination.
