Publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc., US, along with over 1,400 highly influential statistical organisations around the globe, is supporting The International Year of Statistics (Statistics2013 – www.statistics2013.org) to promote the importance of statistics to the broader scientific community, business and government data users, the media, policy makers, employers, students, and the general public. Wiley activities include sponsorship of a video contest and free access to a range of important statistics content.
Wiley is sponsoring the Statistics2013 video contest, asking that submitted videos illustrate how statistics impacts individual lives, improves society, or in general makes the world a better place; how statistical thinking can be brought to bear on important issues of our day; and how careers in statistics can be rewarding. Videos will be judged on both their statistical content and their entertainment value.
Additionally, throughout 2013, Wiley will be opening up a wide range of notable statistics content, with free access to over 150 classic journal articles and book chapters, free trial access to over 20 statistics journals, free issues of Significance magazine on the Signficance App, and frequently updated news and features about activities taking place as part of Statistics2013 on StatisticsViews.com.
Visitors to Wiley Online Library will be able to claim three months of free access to the January to June 2011 issues of all Wiley Statistics journals, which can be taken at any point during 2013.
Information on all of Wiley's activities supporting Statistics2013 is available at www.wiley.com/go/iys hosted on StatisticsViews.com, Wiley's new statistics information hub created for professional statisticians, analysts, students.
