Meet the Editors

Room: Bayview II/III 

This session will bring together editors from top medical and applied statistical journals to share their experiences, discuss the characteristics of successful submissions, and define what researchers should take care to do (and not to do) as they seek to disseminate their work in both high-impact applied and methods journals. The session will include each editor briefly describing their journal and any specific guidance or recommendations for publishing in it, time for moderated discussion between the editors, and then open Q+A time for questions from attendees. The editors will include --- Dr. Elizabeth Stuart, Hurley-Dorrier Professor and Chair, Department of Biostatistics, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Statistical Editor, JAMA Health Forum; Dr. Layla Parast, Associate Professor, Statistics and Data Science + other titles useful to highlight, University of Texas-Austin.
