New Journal: Statistics, Politics and Policy

For those of us who would like to see more concrete discussion of policy issues with a strong numerical component, the journal Statistics, Politics and Policy is currently in pre-launch for a first issue this coming summer. Full disclosure: I am also serving as an associate editor, but I wouldn't have joined if I didn't believe it would be high-quality.

Because SPP is published online by Berkeley Electronic Press, it promises to have a quick turnaround time for submissions as well as great accessibility. And it's definitely something I'll try to uphold in my role with the journal.
