Abstract:
The publication of Volume 50 of the Biometrical Journal (formerly Biometrische Zeitschrift) in 2008 provides the perfect opportunity to describe the history of the present journal. We report on the long period of preparation for the journal within the German Region (DR) of the International Biometric Society (IBS). A special paragraph is dedicated to the first ten volumes. We emphasize the role of the journal as a bond between German biometricians on both sides of the border between the two German nations and IBS regions at that time. Furthermore, we report on the development of its thematic spectrum and impact factors and provide citation frequencies.
