Significance magazine recently celebrated its 10th birthday, and its sister website, just reached its third birthday. It’s been a hugely successful period for the publication due to the statisticians who have contributed to the magazine throughout the years.

The aim is to make statistics accessible to the ordinary reader. The trick with this is to create an interesting narrative in which authors can convey the important message that the data tell them. Statisticians have so many fascinating stories to tell from their work examining and making sense of numbers.

This is precisely the reason the American Statistical Association and Royal Statistical Society created Significance. It gives statisticians on both sides of the Atlantic the platform on which to transmit their findings and thoughts to the wider world.
