2. Research communicates and letters – articles which include communicates from research shorter than research papers but required to pass the same type of reviewing process.

It contains information on the most important events in the scientific community and reports on scientific conferences, reviews science books in the field of statistics and econometrics, as well as possibility for authors to respond to reviews and polemics, discussions and corrections regarding articles published in the journal.
