Regular online readers of the ASA’s journals have probably already seen the Fasttrack articles or received alerts when new articles were posted. Fasttrack gets articles out fast, before they’ve appeared in a specific journal issue, which means readers get the statistics literature they want right away and authors are published much faster.

The ASA staff is so excited about this feature that they have made November free Fasttrack month. Throughout November, all the articles on Fasttrack will be available for free download.

The Journal of the American Statistical Association, Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, and Statistics in Biopharmaceutical Research all have extensive Fasttrack libraries.

Of course, readers can always receive free email alerts when new articles are posted to Fasttrack or new issues appear by registering on the site (readers don’t have to be subscribers) and signing up for eAlerts.
