OSU Libraries has established a subscription to the Current Index to Statistics (CIS).
The Current Index to Statistics is a bibliographic index to publications in statistics, probability, and related fields. It replaces the print Current Index to Statistics, which ceased publication in 1999.
The on-line CIS Extended Database (CIS-ED) indexes
- the entire contents of over 160 “core journals”, in most cases from 1975 (or first issue if later) to the current end year, and pre-1975 coverage for some,
-
- selected articles with statistical content since 1975 from about 1200 additional journals (cumulatively) in related fields
- 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.

The Wilsonweb databases are currently unavailable. Wilson’s technical support has been contacted and this message will be updated once access is restored.
