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, Winterthur, Switzerland.
Both founding editors are statisticians. Every editorial decision is read and signed by a named editor. The editor who signs a decision is named to the authors in the decision letter. Accountability rests with a person, not a process.
Editorial board
The board is being assembled member by member.
- Corsin Capol, University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons (FH Graubünden), Chur, Switzerland. Applications and data science.
- F. Sevinç Kurnaz, Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul, Türkiye (currently visiting at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA). Robust and computational statistics.
The board that is forming
The journal launches editor-led, and the wider board is being assembled: a small board of five to eight members. Board members advise on scope, act as ambassadors for reproducible research, and serve, independently of the founding editors, as the standing arbiters in the appeals procedure; day-to-day editing stays with the editors. Names, affiliations and countries will be published on this page as members are confirmed.
Independence safeguards
- Editors do not publish their own research in the journal they edit; an editor of another FAIR Press Journals title who submits here is treated as any other author and takes no part in any decision about it (see the ethics policy).
- 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.
