The journal Communications in Statistics is published by the Center for research and statistical studies (CIEES) attached to the Faculty of statistics of the Universidad Santo Tomás. This journal is semi-annual, the first issue is published in June and the second in December of each year. The aim of this publication is to disseminate original and unpublished articles on any topic of theoretical and applied statistics. The purpose of this journal is to encourage statistical research culture, and therefore, your target audience is all those researchers to use any statistical method in the development of their projects.
The journal Communications in Statistics publishes original theoretical articles, applications of statistical techniques in any branch of knowledge that lead to new publications as well as letters to the editor that have emerged from the discussion of articles already published in this magazine. Below are some of the main features of the publishing process in this publication.
Submission of articles.
The Editorial committee of the journal Communications in Statistics suggests that articles are submitted in PDF and preferably in letter size paper format. Authors should send a blinded version of the manuscript, without any information of their identity or affiliation. Authors can use the template available on the following link Template RCE. Articles must be attached and sent to the official address of the journal and will be socialized by the Editor on the Editorial Committee.
Topics
The journal Communications in Statistics publishes the following kinds of articles:
Applications and case studies that present innovative statistical analysis or implement empirical exercises to assess statistical techniques in specific real or simulated situations.
New theoretical or methodological contributions that lead to the development of procedures, algorithms and new methodologies from the theoretical point of view. Also, graphics and computational procedures illustrated by a practical application are included, in the case that there is place for such implementation.
Exhaustive literature review of statistical subjects on practical application areas or in specific fields of statistical theory and methods.
Letters to the editor and corrections by writing in a direct and concise way about the discussion or correction of any article published in previous numbers in this journal.
Title and abstract
The title of the article must be specific, in addition, each submitted article should contain a abstract of no more than 400 words and not one should quote any kind of references in the abstract.

The printed version of the journal will contain only images in grayscale; however, the virtual version of the journal will contain the color images.
Appendices and references
Appendices of the manuscript must be located at the end of the article, after the bibliographical references. It is suggested that appendices correspond to extensive theoretical developments, supplemental material and computational algorithms. On the other hand, the bibliographic reference system that is used in this publication is the author-year format, also known as the Harvard format. All references appearing in the article must be contained and cited in the general text or body of the manuscript. In this way, if the reference is part of a phrase, surnames, and the year of publication should, in a parenthesis, should appear within the text. Now, if the reference is not part of a sentence, the last name followed by the year of publication must be included inside a parentheses.
