Statistical Analysis and Data Mining is primarily a statistical journal focusing on novelty, intellectual importance, and relevance in current topics of contemporary research in statistics, statistical machine learning, and statistical data mining. This is interpreted broadly to include innovative analytic techniques and applications provided they have a secure grounding in mathematical rigor. Aside from the emphasis on novelty, methodologies are expected to have been developed to the point that their key general properties can be established and their applicability can be assessed. In principle, any topic in any emerging areas of statistical thinking is welcome. Statistical Analysis and Data Mining also welcomes review articles on recent topics of broad contemporary interest in statistics research. Guidelines for Reviewers Submitted research papers should have a clear focus stated succinctly in an introduction. The introduction should provide enough background that a typical reader will be able to see why the contribution is important. The development of the theory, methodology, computational approach, or other aspects of the focus should proceed in a logically streamlined way. When a new method is given, a statement of when it is better than existing methods should be made and supported via theory, systematic simulations, or other argumentation. An application demonstrating the feasibility of any new technique is also usually desirable. Suggested approach: 1) Scan the paper to identify the key contribution. 2) If the key contribution is minor, reject the paper. 3) If the key contribution is substantial: a) Synopsize the main ideas of the paper in your own summary; b) If you know of any closely related research not covered in the paper, mention it; c) Check the paper for accuracy and note corrections; d) Check the paper for clarity and suggest alternative wordings where appropriate; e) If you find the paper incomplete, consider writing your own publishable comment. 4) Do not hesitate to ask the Associate Editor to obtain any of the following, as needed: a) Reference papers not easily accessible; b) Original source data; c) Original code. 5) Make your recommendation for: a) Acceptance – paper publishable as is; b) Minor Revision – no serious errors but may require some elaboration of existing work; c) Major Revision – poorly written or containing potentially correctable flaws; may require new research to be a complete contribution; d) Rejection – paper wou

Wiley believes that journals publishing for communities with established pre-print servers should allow authors to submit manuscripts which have already been made available on a non-commercial preprint server. Allowing submission does not, of course, guarantee that an article will be sent out for review. It simply reflects our belief that journals should not rule out reviewing a paper simply becau…
