Current Index to Statistics

The Current Index to Statistics is a bibliographic index to publications in statistics and related fields. References are drawn from 111 core journals that are fully indexed, non-core journals from which articles are selected that have statistical content, proceedings and edited books, and other sources. The CIS Extended Database (CIS-ED) indexes the entire contents of 111 "core journals", in most cases from 1975 (or first issue if later) to the current end year, and pre-1975 coverage for a number of them; selected articles since 1975 from about 1200 additional journals (cumulatively); and about 11,000 books in statistics published since 1975. The Current Index to Statistics is a joint venture of the American Statistical Association and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. More information can be found at http://www.statindex.org/CIS.
