The journal is currently edited by its two founding editors. A broader, institutionally independent editorial board is being formed and will be announced on this page — each member listed with name, affiliation and country.
Founding editors
- Matthias Templ — FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, Olten, Switzerland.
- Jürgen Degenfellner — ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland.
Both founding editors are statisticians. Every editorial decision is read and signed by a named editor — accountability is a person, not a process diagram — and the editor who signs a decision is named to the authors in the decision letter.
The board that is forming
We are deliberately honest here: the journal launches editor-led, and the wider board is being assembled rather than announced prematurely. Board members will serve as subject editors and — independently of the founding editors — as arbiters in the appeals procedure. Names, affiliations and countries will be published on this page as members are confirmed.
Independence safeguards in the meantime
- The founding editors do not publish their own research in the journal.
- An appeal is never heard by the editor who signed the contested decision (see the complaints & appeals procedure).
- Every decision is auditable: the assessment record behind each verdict is persisted and can be re-examined.
Interested in serving?
We welcome expressions of interest from researchers in statistics, applied mathematics and data science with a commitment to reproducible research — particularly researchers whose institutions and regions broaden the board.
