Journal of statistical software

The Journal of Statistical Software (JSS) is an open-source and open-access scientific journal by the statistical software community for everybody interested in statistical computing. All aspects of the journal, from editorial work over review and copy-editing up to typesetting and publication, are run by a group of volunteers committed to free software (as in software that respects the users' essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes) and free-subscription, free-submission open-access publishing ideas. Therefore, and as a matter of principle, JSS charges no author fees or subscription fees. The journal does expect the same level of commitment from authors seeking to publish in JSS. Authors will have to accept a high level of responsibility throughout the whole publishing process, including the preparation of the final publishable versions of article and software. Due to the steadily increasing number of incoming and accepted submissions and limited volunteer resources, publication times can be rather long. Compliance by authors to JSS standards and instructions typically speeds-up this process considerably.
