Aims and scope
Algebraic statistics is a branch of mathematical statistics that focuses on the use of algebraic, geometric, and combinatorial methods in statistics. While the use of these methods has a long history in statistics, algebraic statistics is continuously forging new interdisciplinary connections.
This growing field has established itself squarely at the intersection of several areas of mathematics including, for instance, multilinear algebra, commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, convex geometry, combinatorics, theoretical problems in statistics (e.g., estimation, model fitting, optimal design, asymptotics of learning theory), and their practical applications.
Algebraic Statistics is the first-choice journal for algebraic statistics, and welcomes a broad range of submissions.
Ethics and policies
Information about the journal's editorial principles, its policies for authors, the handling of complaints and appeals, and copyright and licensing can be found here.
Peer-review process
This journal operates a single-anonymized review process (the names of the reviewers are hidden from the author). You can read about the peer-review process, including expectations and responsibilities for the journal and for reviewers, here.
Publication schedule
Algebraic Statistics publishes 2 issues per year, for an expected total of about 200 pages.
Access
Journal access and fees
Access to the journal is by subscription. All articles become free to access and read six years past publication (meaning on the sixth January 1st after the publication date). The journal does not charge any author fees.
Preservation of access
To ensure the long-term availability of our published online content, MSP is a member of CLOCKSS and of the Global LOCKSS Network.
Submissions
Authors may submit manuscripts in PDF format here.
Authors should follow these submission guidelines.
About the publisher
The journal is published by MSP (Mathematical Sciences Publishers), alongside other top journals. MSP is a nonprofit who believes that fair-priced scholar-led subscription journals remain the best stewards of quality and fairness, and strives to offer the highest quality at the lowest sustainable prices. MSP also developed EditFlow, the popular peer-review web application.
