Episode 62: Volume One: A Conversation with the Editors of ASA Discoveries
What does a journal look like when you design it for the research world we’re living in, along with the one we’re building?
In the latest episode of Practical Significance, cohosts Donna LaLonde and Ron Wasserstein welcome the editorial leadership team behind ASA Discoveries, the American Statistical Association’s new open-access journal. Editor-in-Chief Bo Li (Washington University in St. Louis) and co-editors Sebastien Haneuse (Harvard), Galin Jones (University of Minnesota), Shujie Ma (University of California, Riverside), and Abel Rodriguez (University of Washington) share the journal’s vision and goals.
Together, they explore how ASA Discoveries aims to address the evolving landscape at the intersection of statistics, data science, and artificial intelligence—highlighting interdisciplinary, forward-looking research that may not fit neatly into traditional journal models. The discussion spans open-access publishing, editorial philosophy, author experience, reproducibility, responsible use of AI in research, ethics-focused work, and more. This is essential listening for researchers thinking about publication.
And you won’t want to miss Ron’s traditional Top 10: “The Top 10 Signs I Am Getting Older.”
