Journals for survey research

 

Survey Practice: Practical Information for Survey Researchers.

Survey Practice is an official publication of the American Association for Public Opinion Research.  Survey Practice has both public opinion and survey research articles. Most articles are short and written so that all survey researchers and an informed public can understand them. The articles are not peer reviewed but the editors ensure the articles meet high quality standards. Survey Practice is published monthly on the Web only.

Journal of Official Statistics

The Journal of Official Statistics is published by Statistics Sweden, the national statistical office of Sweden. The journal publishes articles on statistical methodology and theory, with an emphasis on applications. It is an open access journal, which gives the right to users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of all articles.

We encourage articles on the following topics:

Methodologies and policies for the collection, processing, analysis, presentation, and distribution of statistical data. Examples of such topics are: sampling design; estimation; analytical uses of data; questionnaire design; quality control; data base management; confidentiality; ethics; dissemination; presentation of quality; training of statisticians; the role of statistics in today’s society; the relations between producers, users, and respondents; intra-organization collaboration; international statistical cooperation; and evaluation and identification of statistical needs. Articles may present theoretical contributions, interesting applications of existing methods, comparisons of different methods, or authoritative reviews.

Letters to the Editor provides a forum for the airing of opinions on issues pertinent to the statistical community or offers commentaries on articles that have appeared in the journal.

The Special Notes section welcomes notices and announcements of upcoming events, conferences, calls for papers, or anything that can be considered news for the statistical community.

There is a Book and Software Review section and an Index that appears at the end of every volume.
