用期刊排名来评估学者不是一个好方法，只是权宜之计，而且将期刊排名不是一件轻松的事情。

有一篇论文《How Do Statisticians Perceive Statistics Journals?》

报告了国际统计界对期刊排名的一些调查结果。

统计学家对统计学Top five 期刊有一个共识，就是：

JASA (The Journal of American Statistical Association)

Bka (Biometrika)

AoS (The Annals of Statistics)

JRSB (The Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B)

Bcs (Biometrics)

该论文写道：【"The Journal of American Statistical Association (JASA), Biometrika (Bka), The Annals of Statistics (AoS), The Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B (JRSB), and Biometrics (BcS) are highly percieved across all quality metrics by our worldwide and regional samples." 】

该调查还考虑了不同研究领域的期刊排名，一个是生物统计，一个是计量经济，所以其他领域都归为一类。

Biometrics的排名在生物统计领域排名第二，甚至比排名第一的JASA更有用。

该调查写道：

【"PhD academicians interested in Biometrics/Biostatistics rank higher Biometrics(Bcs), Biometrika (Bka),... Moreover, researchers in this area find Biometrics more useful to their work than the Journal of American Statistical Association(JASA).】

Wikipedia关于Biometrics期刊的条文间接引用了该结果。

【In a recent survey of statistics researchers' opinions, it was ranked fifth overall among 40 statistics journals, and it was second only to the Journal of the American Statistical Association in the ranking provided by biometrics specialists.】
