Call for submissions: Special issue on “COVID-19: Statisticians in Action”

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Canadian Journal of Statistics (CJS) plans to devote a special issue to “COVID-19: Statisticians in Action.”  We aim to showcase the vibrant statistical research on tackling the challenges posed by the COVID-19 data, underline emerging issues presented to the research community, elucidate remarkable roles played by the statistical science and, ultimately, highlight the importance of  interdisciplinary collaborations to combat COVID-19.

We invite you to submit research articles, review manuscripts, or insightful discussions. The special issue welcomes a broad range of topics from design and analysis of COVID-19 data, epidemiological and genetic characteristics of the disease, evolution of the pandemic, impacts on public health, to assessment of economic impact.

The submission deadline is December 31, 2020. A speedy review will be given to all submissions. Please submit your paper through the CJS submission website, specifying that the submission is for the special issue of “COVID-19: Statisticians in Action”:
