About this journal

The Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports (JQAS), an official journal of the American Statistical Association, publishes timely, high-quality peer-reviewed research on the quantitative aspects of professional and amateur sports, including collegiate and Olympic competition. The scope of application reflects the increasing demand for novel methods to analyze and understand data in the growing field of sports analytics. Articles come from a wide variety of sports and diverse perspectives, and address topics such as game outcome models, measurement and evaluation of player performance, tournament structure, analysis of rules and adjudication, within-game strategy, analysis of sporting technologies, and player and team ranking methods. JQAS seeks to publish manuscripts that demonstrate original ways of approaching problems, develop cutting edge methods, and apply innovative thinking to solve difficult challenges in sports contexts. JQAS brings together researchers from various disciplines, including statistics, operations research, machine learning, scientific computing, econometrics, and sports management.

The pandemic has challenged all of us, and JQAS is no exception.　As a consequence, our editorial processes have been　uncharacteristically　slow. We are grateful to every author who has submitted their work to JQAS and apologize for any delays in reviewing that work.

In order to get back on track, DeGruyter and the ASA have elevated three longtime Associate Editors to Co-Editor positions. Michael Lopez, Emily Casleton, and Ben Baumer are now working together to reinvigorate and　reestablish an efficient　editorial process. Thank you for your patience and your readership.
