January 2009 ‐‐ 31. December 2009 the Annals of Applied Probability received 279 submissions. 17 were withdrawn by the authors, 169 were rejected (16 with the possibility of resubmission), 51 were accepted, and 42 are still in the system (some awaiting the authors' revision). The median time to process those rejected was 2 months, and the 75th percentile 5 months; the median time to acceptance, including revision, was 7.5 months. This year, we have had 159 submissions in the first 6 months, an increase of around 15%. Based on the October lineup, papers spend about 4.5 months between acceptance and the proofs being sent to the authors, and 5 months between the proofs being received back until printing. Half the authors send the proofs back promptly; the remaining half take a month or more to do so. As can be deduced from the figures above, Rick Durrett and Ed Waymire have done a terrific job in restoring the journal to good working order, following the abrupt departure of the previous editor. The editorial board has increased in size, and currently consists of Rami Atar, Jinho Baik, Erwin Bolthausen, Krzysztof Burdzy, Brigitte Chauvin, Zhenqing Chen, Luc Devroye, Ron Doney, Rick Durrett, Jim Fill, Jean‐Pierre Fouque, Peter Friz, David Gamarnik, Carl Graham, Alexander Holroyd, Steve Krone, David Levin, Eyal Lubetzky, Jean Mairesse, Soumik Pal, Mathew Penrose, Philip Protter, Kavita Ramanan, Marty Reiman, Chris Rogers, Jason Schweinsberg, Qi‐Man Shao, Vladas Sidoravicius, Mete Soner, Prasad Tetali, Enrique Thomann and Ruth Williams. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Annual Report For 2009, Annals of Applied Statistics AOAS, the Annals of Applied Statistics, completed its third volume in December of 2009. The December issue, at about 600 pages, was the fattest so far, reflecting a sharp jump in submissions: from 286 in 2007 and 274 in 2008 to 352 last year. Noteworthy in December was a discussion paper by Gabor Szekely and Maria Rizzo, organized by our biomedical editor Michael Newton. It might seem impossible to make major advances in the correlation coefficient after a century of development, but Szekely and Rizzo have devised a new, simple measure that equals zero only under independence, not being fooled by non-normal distributions of zero Pearson correlation. Also attracting considerable attention was Keith Baggerly and Kevin Coombes' article on "forensic bioinformatics", in which it was shown how poor documentation had undercut the validity of some highly publicized medical studies - leading to the temporary suspension of several such studies. Leading off the 2009 volume was a special section on Statistics and Astronomy, organized by Thomas Loredo, John Rice, and the AOAS physical science editor Michael Stein. Like the Fellowship of the Ring, the original Editors of AOAS are now departing: Karen Kafadar at Indiana University has succeeded Michael Newton as Editor for Biology, Medicine, and Genomics. (This area gets about 40% of our sub- missions.) Stephen Fienberg will end his term as founding Editor for Social Science, Government, and Economics in the Fall, to be succeeded by Susan Paddock of the RAND corporation. And Michael Stein is stepping down as founding Editor for Physical Science, Computation, Engineering, and the Environment at the end of 2010. Tilmann Gneiting, of Heidelberg University, our first European based editor, will be his successor. Sam Kou, of Harvard, has succeeded Karen as Editor for General Topics, a new category that reflects the increasingly diverse range of applied topics we are publishing. (Bradley Efron is continuing as Editor-in-Chief for a second term, that began in January of this year.) AOAS has gotten off to a good start - with a first Impact Rating placing it in the top four among statistics journals - due to the hard work of Steve, Michael, and Michael, and the IMS is greatly in their debt. The increased rate of submissions has continued in 2010, perhaps even more heavily than in 2009. The January issue, which included a special section on network modeling, was almost as bulky as December's, and we anticipate needing about 2400 pages total for 2010, just to keep the backlog in check. We believe that we can continue at four issues per year, but that assumes no substantial increase in submissions. 2009 Impact Factor (Rank among 100 indexed statistics journals this year.)

Of the 413 papers received since January 1 2009, 25 were withdrawn by the authors, 202 were rejected, 13 were rejected with possible resubmission, and 60 were accepted. 99 are still in review and a revision was requested on an addi tional 14. I expect the eventual acceptance rate to be in the range of 22-28%. A memorial issue for J. L. Doob, assembled by G. Grimmett and D. Yilvisaker, has appeared. A memorial issue for O. Schramm is being assembled by I. Benjamini, and I expect it to appear toward the end of 2011. A memorial issue for T. Harris is being assembled by K. Alexander and P. Baxendale. Delay from acceptance to publication seems to be bet ween 9 and 12 m onths. The requested page budget for 2011 is similar to 2010. https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik… 1/1 The Annals of Statistics, 2010 Annual Report Peter B¨uhlmann and Tony Cai, Editors SUBMISSIONS: We received 505 submissions in 2009 remaining high relative to the historical norm (in comparison to 319, 362, 323, 343, 397, 479 and 490 in 2002{2008, re- spectively). Our editorial policy continues to emphasize that The Annals of Statistics aims at publishing research papers of highest quality reflecting the many facets of contemporary statistics, including all mathematical, methodological, computational and interdisciplinary work.

The statistical methods should play a paramount role to insure both the objectivity of the results of agricultural research as well as the optimum usage of the limited resources. An inadequate or improper use of statistical methods may result in wrong conclusions and in misuse of the available resources with important scientific and economic consequences. Many times, Statistics is used as a basis to justify conclusions of research work without considering in advance the suitability of the statistical methods to be used. The obvious question is: What importance do biological researchers give to the statistical methods? The answer is out of any doubt and the fact that most of the results published in specialized journals includes statistical considerations, confirms its importance.

This is an attempt to visualize and quantify statistical science research collaboration in multiple dimensions by exploring the co-authorship data. It investigates chronological variations of collaboration pattern, nodes and links established among the affiliated institutions and countries of all contributing authors. The study also examines the impact of research collaboration on citation scores. Findings reveal steady influx of statistical publications with clear tendency towards collaborative ventures, of which double-authored publications dominate. Small team of 2 to 3 authors is responsible for production of majority of collaborative research, whereas mega-authored communications are quite low.

Neerchal It is a pleasure to bring to you the Spring 2012 issue of the department newsletter. The Mathematics and Statistics Department hosted two large conferences; the Infinite Possibilities Conference, which is designed to support minority women in mathematics, and our 6th annual Probability and Statistics Day Conference. Both were a huge success! We’ve also had a number of students recognized throughout the semester at URCAD, the Graduate Research Conference, and Student Recognition Day for their academic and research achievements. Several faculty members have also been recognized this semester for their achievements in teaching and research. I am proud to say that we have a very talented and dedicated group of faculty and students in this department, and it showed this semester! Thank you to everyone who helped to make this spring yet another successful semester for the department.
