Here's a reminder that we need your input! As part of its review of its journal policies and procedures, the ASA presidents will host a town hall meeting focused on journal publication. We will ask participants to consider questions like:
- What are the main factors that shape your decision to submit your manuscript to a certain journal?
- What do you consider to be a realistic timeframe for receiving feedback after submitting a manuscript?
- What factors make a review helpful to you?
- What would convince you to serve as a reviewer, associate editor, or editor (if you aren't already serving in one or more of these roles)?
Our moderators, ASA President Kathy Ensor and President-Elect Dionne Price, will lead the discussion and offer some thoughts of their own. Your participation will help the ASA to identify common problems and solve them.
As a bonus, Kathy will ask for some input that will inform her presidential address at JSM (https://magazine.amstat.org/blog/2022/05/02/foundation-for-innovation/), so you will have an opportunity to contribute as part of this town hall meeting.
Please join us on July 12 at 4pm ET. There is no cost, but registration is required. Register here.
Thank you.
Ron
