統計學發表論文，發展和分析任何積極的統計領域的新方法，由現實問題的動機。提交審議的論文應以嚴謹的數學結果和證明，對統計理論及其應用作出有趣和新穎的貢獻。此外，數值模擬和應用于實際數據集可以提高論文的質量，并應包括在適當的地方。統計學不發表僅僅是將現有程序應用于案例研究的論文，而且要求論文包含方法或理論創新。感興趣的主題包括，例如，非參數統計、時間序列、拓撲或功能數據的分析。此外，該雜志還歡迎在計量經濟學理論領域及其與數理統計的聯系提交。

Statistics publishes papers developing and analysing new methods for any active field of statistics, motivated by real-life problems. Papers submitted for consideration should provide interesting and novel contributions to statistical theory and its applications with rigorous mathematical results and proofs. Moreover, numerical simulations and application to real data sets can improve the quality of papers, and should be included where appropriate. Statistics does not publish papers which represent mere application of existing procedures to case studies, and papers are required to contain methodological or theoretical innovation. Topics of interest include, for example, nonparametric statistics, time series, analysis of topological or functional data. Furthermore the journal also welcomes submissions in the field of theoretical econometrics and its links to mathematical statistics.
