Editor, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Applications and Case Studies

Term: 2025–2027, with the transition beginning in 2024

The Journal of the American Statistical Association (JASA) has long been considered the premier journal of statistical science. The Applications and Case Studies section publishes original articles focusing on statistically innovative and scientifically and practically relevant analyses of real data sets.

The editor, working with the editorial coordinator, reviews new submissions and selects papers for review by associate editors. They also select papers for discussion in the section, including the annual Joint Statistical Meetings Applications and Case Studies paper, and invite discussants for these papers.

Co-Editors, Journal of Business & Economic Statistics

Term: 2025–2027, with the transition beginning July–September of 2024

JBES primarily publishes applied statistical analyses of microeconomic, macroeconomic, forecasting, business, and finance-related topics. Articles contain significant results, high-quality methodological content, excellent exposition, and (usually) a substantive empirical application.

Due to a heavy submission load, JBES typically has two editors who serve a concurrent term. They, working with the editorial coordinator, review new submissions and select papers for review by referees. They also work with the production editor to create each issue and ensure timely publication.

Co-Editors, Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics

Term: 2025–2027, with the transition beginning July or August of 2024

JCGS presents the very latest techniques on improving and extending the use of computational and graphical methods in statistics and data analysis. Articles are written for readers who have a strong background in statistics but are not necessarily experts in computing.

The co-editors, working with the editorial coordinator, review new submissions and select papers for review by referees. They also work with the production editor to create each issue and ensure timely publication.

Editor, Journal of Nonparametric Statistics

Term: 2025–2027, with the transition beginning July or August of 2024

JNPS includes research and survey work in nonparametric statistics and related areas. Research applying nonparametric methods to medicine, engineering, technology, science, and humanities is welcome, provided the novelty and quality level are of the highest order.

Editor, Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education

Term: 2025–2027, with the transition beginning July or August of 2024

JSDSE is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that disseminates accessible knowledge for the improvement of data science and statistics education at all levels.

JSDSE editors must be active members of the ASA during their terms. Working with the editorial coordinator, the editor will review new submissions and select papers for review by referees. The editor will also prepare new issues and write decision letters.

Editor, Statistics and Public Policy

Term: 2025–2027, with the transition beginning July or August of 2024

SPP is an open-access journal publishing papers that apply strong statistical methodology to problems in public policy and/or relevant political science. Articles may address international, national, or local policy questions, and the emphasis is on application, rather than methodological novelty.

SPP editors must be active members of the ASA during their terms.

Editor, Technometrics

Term: 2026–2028, with a full year’s transition beginning in 2025

Technometrics contributes to the development and use of statistical methods in physical, chemical, and engineering sciences, as well as information sciences and technology. These include developments at the interface of statistics and computer science such as data mining, machine learning, and large databases.

The editor reviews new submissions and makes the final decision about which papers to accept for publication. The editor also appoints the editorial board and works with its members to handle the journal’s peer-review process.

Editor, Journal on Uncertainty Quantification

Term: 2025–2027, with the transition beginning in 2024

JUQ publishes research articles presenting significant mathematical, statistical, algorithmic, and application advances in uncertainty quantification. The journal also focuses on related fields such as sensitivity analysis, model validation, model calibration, data assimilation, and code verification.

Editor, Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology

Term: 2025–2027, with the transition beginning in July of 2024

JSSAM publishes cutting-edge theoretical and applied articles about statistical and methodological issues for sample surveys, censuses, administrative record systems, and related data.

The editor determines the contents of the four regular issues, overseeing the review process, and serves as a consultant on special issues.
