Where Can We Share the Impactful Work of Applied, Practicing Statisticians?

Abstract Avenues for disseminating work by applied and collaborative statisticians to statistical audiences are extremely limited. Methodological advances made in the course of effectively executing applied work often fail to reach an audience of other practicing statisticians. We consider questions posed from several viewpoints, including as members of the professional community in academia, government, industry, and independent statistical consulting. We highlight key challenges and opportunities that exist in this space and start the discussion to examine pathways to share this important work. We conclude with recommendations for possible next steps for the dissemination of impactful work by applied, practicing statisticians.

Abstract

Abstract Avenues for disseminating work by applied and collaborative statisticians to statistical audiences are extremely limited. Methodological advances made in the course of effectively executing applied work often fail to reach an audience of other practicing statisticians. We consider questions posed from several viewpoints, including as members of the professional community in academia, government, industry, and independent statistical consulting. We highlight key challenges and opportunities that exist in this space and start the discussion to examine pathways to share this important work. We conclude with recommendations for possible next steps for the dissemination of impactful work by applied, practicing statisticians.
