Transcript SJS

Established in 1974 by the Danish Society for
Theoretical Statistics, the Finnish Statistical
Society, the Norwegian Statistical Society and the
Swedish Statistical Association
From a regional to an international journal:
The 1976 volume was 224 pages and had 20% non-Nordic authors,
while the 2006 volume was almost 900 pages and 90% of the
authors were from outside the Nordic countries.
Until 1991 SJS was published by Almqvist & Wiksell.
Thereafter it has been published by Blackwell
SJS is planned to become available in JSTOR

Aim of SJS:
It is the aim of SJS is to report significant and innovative
contributions to statistical methodology, both theory and
applications.
Thus we seek interesting and original papers with practical
relevance.
SJS has a reputation for publishing key papers in survival
analysis, longitudinal data analysis, spatial statistics and
graphical models.
However, it is the aim of SJS to publish over a broad spectrum
of methodological problems, so contributions from all parts of
statistics are welcome (unless very specialized), as are
statistically motivated probability papers.
