Committee Collaboration Yields Editors’ Choice Collection 

One benefit of association membership is free online access to ASA-sponsored journals, which span subjects such as statistics applications and methodology, biopharmaceutical research, survey methodology, public policy, and statistics and data science education. 

The ASA Committee on Membership Retention and Recruitment recently collaborated with the ASA Committee on Publications and ASA staff to promote the ASA’s journals and recognize the authors of excellent papers. Committee members asked the editors of each journal to recommend approximately two papers for the Editors’ Choice Collection. Following are the papers they chose:
