American Statistical Association and Taylor & Francis announce 
new publishing partnership

The American Statistical Association (ASA) and Taylor & Francis 
are pleased to announce a new publishing partnership between the 
two organizations. As of 2012, Taylor & Francis will publish six 
journals on behalf of the ASA:

*  Journal of the American Statistical Association (JASA)
*  The American Statistician (TAS)
*  Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES)
*  Statistics in Biopharmaceutical Research (SBR)
*  Technometrics1
*  Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics (JCGS)2

Through their new partnership, the ASA and Taylor & Francis aim 
to expand the global reach and readership of these publications, 
to achieve the highest possible levels of accessibility through 
rapid publication and continued affordable pricing, and to 
maintain the high quality of the publications' content and 
presentation.

According to Kevin Bradley, President, Taylor & Francis USA, "I 
am extremely pleased and proud to be working with the American 
Statistical Association and to welcome these excellent 
publications to the T&F family. The high quality of the ASA 
titles, combined with T&F's outstanding production and author 
services and our global marketing and sales reach, will certainly 
make for a winning partnership."

"Disseminating statistical research through journals is a key 
part of the ASA mission," said Ron Wasserstein, Executive 
Director. "The hard work and professionalism of our journal 
editors, associate editors, editorial collaborators, and authors 
in producing the highest quality statistical journals, combined 
with the global capacity and expertise of the Taylor & Francis 
team, will increase the reach of our journals, furthering the 
ASA's role in promoting the practice and profession of 
statistics."

In 2012 and beyond, the ASA and Taylor & Francis will continue to 
offer the journals by subscription, as well as offering access 
via the Taylor & Francis Library 
http://www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/tandflibrary/.  ASA members will 
continue to receive JASA, JBES, JCGS, SBR, and TAS free of charge 
with their memberships. The ASA maintains its copyright ownership 
and control over journal pricing.
