New submissions and revisions
All new submissions are now
handled by the current editor, John Gabrosek, and should be sent
to him at jse@gvsu.edu. Revisions
and questions about papers submitted prior to September 1, 2009
will continue to be handled by the previous editor Bill Notz at
jse@stat.osu.edu.
Current issue
The November 2009 (Volume 17,
Number 3) issue of JSE is now available. The table of contents
is at: 2009 Table of Contents.
This issue has a wide variety of papers dealing with topics from
basic concepts to theory courses and Bayesian statistics. There
are ten regular articles and two Teaching Bits. I hope you will
enjoy the issue.
From Research to Practice -
Consider Submitting to this Department
We have not received many submissions
for the "From Research to Practice" section. We encourage JSE readers
to consider submitting future contributions to this department,
by finding a research article of interest, reading and reflecting
on it, implementing ideas from the paper in their classes, assessing
the results, writing up their findings, and submitting it to JSE.
The paper by Jackie Miller in the
March 2007 issue describes the goals of this section. Take a look!
Coming in March 2010 JSE Goes
PDF Only
JSE is a fully electronic journal,
and has been so from the very first issue in 1993. We have published
html versions of papers so that we could take full advantage of
the electronic format through interactive links to a variety of
media. However, there are problems with creating html versions.
Problems include that coding the papers in html is time consuming,
any formula that requires writing one symbol over another must be
converted to a picture and the result is often not visually pleasing,
and figures often do not look like the original submission. Submissions
to JSE and the number of published papers have increased substantially
over the years. With advances in the quality and ability to produce
pdf versions of papers we can (almost) match the full functionality
of html without sacrificing time and retaining the quality of the
original submission.
Thus, beginning with the March
2010 issue, we will publish only pdf versions of papers. If we discover
this is not satisfactory, we will reevaluate this decision. We will
not remove the html versions of papers published prior to 2010.
Over time, we also plan to prepare pdf versions of all papers published
prior to 2007.
JSE is a publication

Notice of JSE Copyright Policy
The Editor of JSE recently
received a query about the use of Data Sets contained in the Data
Sets and Stories department. Recall that authors retain copyright
for papers and data sets and stories submitted to JSE. The JSE
Copyright Policy can be accessed by clicking on Guidelines
for Readers/Data Users in the menu on the left. You will also
notice a JSE Policy for Using Data Sets and Simulations/Programs.
The policy statement is meant to clarify what uses of JSE data sets
require approval from the copyright holder (the author) and what
uses do not require approval. Classroom and other teaching uses
do not require approval.
Notice of Changes to Guidelines
for Data Contributors
Recently JSE received two articles
that looked like they would be interesting to JSE readers that did
not quite fit in with the Datasets and Stories column or the more
general articles found in JSE. The first used a data set, but it
was not a static data set. The second used a data set, but the primary
focus of the paper was simulation. In an effort to expand the types
of submissions appropriate for JSE while retaining the teaching/learning
focus of the journal we have developed some guidelines for Simulations/Programs.
These guidelines, as well as some clarification of the type of papers
that are appropriate for the Datasets and Stories column, can be
accessed by clicking on the
Guidelines for Data Contributors
link in the menu.
Next issue
The next issue of JSE
is due to be announced in March 2010. Articles in the next issue
may appear on the Web site one at a time during the construction
of the issue.
