Information about JOS

JOS is a peer-reviewed international scientific journal published in English by Statistics Sweden since 1985. The journal is published digitally. JOS is an open access journal with no submission fees.

Readers of the journal can be found among researchers and practitioners in academia, government, business, and research organisations with an interest in survey methodology and production of official statistics.

The issues are published in March, June, September, and December. Each issue consists of approximately 10-15 articles. Sometimes one of the issues may be a special issue covering a thematic topic of great interest to JOS readers. Each year approximately 150-200 manuscripts are submitted to JOS.

The research articles cover, e.g., methodologies and policies for the collection of data, processing, and analysis of data and the presentation and dissemination of statistics, based on traditional surveys, censuses, registers, or new and emerging types of data sources. In addition to research articles, the journal also publishes shorter research notes, comments on recent articles, and other communications in a shorter format for publishing such as letter to editors and book reviews.

The editorial board consists of five Editors in Chief (EiC) responsible for the publication's content, strategic work and short- and long-term planning. Statistics Sweden chairs the editorial board and appoints EiC. The editorial board decides on the themes for any special issues.

An expert group of around 50 Associate Editors (experts in Official Statistics) along with some hundred referees makes up the central resource helping JOS reaching its high scientific standard.

Statistics Sweden has full ownership rights and editorial independence.

The Journal of Official Statistics is available at: Journal of Official Statistics (JOS) (scb.se)
