Series B (Statistical Methodology) aims to publish high quality papers on the methodological aspects of statistics and data science more broadly. The objective of papers should be to contribute to the understanding of statistical methodology and/or to develop and improve statistical methods; any mathematical theory should be directed towards these aims. The kinds of contribution considered include descriptions of new methods of collecting or analysing data, with the underlying theory, an indication of the scope of application and preferably a real example. Also considered are comparisons, critical evaluations and new applications of existing methods, contributions to probability theory which have a clear practical bearing (including the formulation and analysis of stochastic models), statistical computation or simulation where original methodology is involved and original contributions to the foundations of statistical science. Reviews of methodological techniques are also considered. A paper, even if correct and well presented, is likely to be rejected if it only presents straightforward special cases of previously published work, if it is of mathematical interest only, if it is too long in relation to the importance of the new material that it contains or if it is dominated by computations or simulations of a routine nature.

B 系列（统计方法论）旨在更广泛地发表有关统计学和数据科学方法论方面的高质量论文。论文的目标应该是促进对统计方法论的理解和/或开发和改进统计方法；任何数学理论都应以这些目标为导向。考虑的贡献类型包括对收集或分析数据的新方法的描述，以及基础理论、应用范围的指示，最好是真实的例子。还考虑了现有方法的比较、批判性评估和新应用、对具有明显实际意义的概率论的贡献（包括随机模型的制定和分析）、涉及原始方法的统计计算或模拟以及对统计科学基础的原创贡献。方法论技术的评论也会被考虑。一篇论文，即使正确且表达良好，如果它只展示以前发表作品的简单特例，如果它只具有数学兴趣，如果它相对于它所包含的新材料的重要性来说太长，如果它主要是常规计算或模拟，它也可能被拒绝。
