WISTA is a scientific journal regularly published by the Federal Statistical Office Germany. It offers articles on topics relating to official statistics. They mainly focus on the analysis of statistical data and on the documentation of methodological aspects and developments – both at national and international level.
WISTA is mainly a German language publication, but occasionally English articles are also included. As of 2015, every article starts with a short abstract in English. WISTA is published on a bi-monthly basis.
