Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted because... ... this is a peer-reviewed journal with very good standing. An impact factor of 3.153 is pretty damn good for statistics journals (see Comparison of statistics journals)--Stas K (talk) 17:29, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not clear that this should be a statistics journal. The SEM community is populated mainly by people at "quantitative methods" departments at Educational Schools, and their psychology departments, and by sociologists. (OSU and Riverside are exceptions, with good statisticians in statistics departments, but they usually publish in better journals.) The Impact Factor is due mainly to self-citation. This journal has little impact on good statistics journals.  Kiefer.Wolfowitz  (Discussion) 17:44, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
