They are very popular and get a lot of citations. Guest editors invite contributions, handle preprocessing, handle reviews, and make decisions. JSS (i.e. Achim) still handles the post-processing. I could easily see special volumes on MCMC/Bayesian Computing, Cloud Computing / Big Memory, HPC, Literary Programming (Sweave and Friends), Clinical Trials, Spatial Statistics/Geostatistics, Time Series, Mixed Models, Foreign Function Interfaces, Bioinformatics, Independent Component Analysis, Julia and Statistics, L_1 regression, .... Of course JSS is 80% R, but (as the state space special volume shows) using R is not in any sense required. We still have a special volume on optimization in the pipeline. Ten most recent volumes are Volume 49: Graphical User Interfaces for R Volume 48: Psychoco: Psychometric Computing in R Volume 45: Multiple Imputation Volume 44: Magnetic Resonance Imaging in R Volume 42: Political Methodology Volume 41: Statistical Software for State Space Methods Volume 38: Competing Risks and Multi-State Models Volume 27: Econometrics in R Volume 24: Statistical Modeling of Social Networks with "statnet" Volume 22: Ecology and Ecological Modelling in R _______________________________________________ JSS-Announce mailing list JSS-Announce(a)lists.stat.ucla.edu http://lists.stat.ucla.edu/mailman/listinfo/jss-announce
