Significance magazine invites submissions for a special issue dedicated to the work, perspectives, and priorities of statisticians in South and South-East Asia, including but not restricted to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
We are seeking, first and foremost, contributions by statisticians and data scientists based in South and South-East Asian countries, but any high quality submission will be given due consideration as long as it addresses pressing issues faced by communities, civil society, governments, and organisations in that region.
Articles must be accessible and engaging to a general audience, including non-experts. This means technical terms and mathematics must be kept to a minimum and explained clearly where used. For further advice, see our contributor guidelines.
How to submit
Send a brief outline of the scope and structure of the proposed article, including key takeaways for readers, to significance@rss.org.uk. Submissions must be in MS Word or OpenOffice format with the subject line “S&SE Asia special issue”.
