About the Journal

The Journal of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland is published once a year and incorporates the papers read to the Society during the preceding session. Papers read to the Society, except those at Symposia, are subject to refereeing before being accepted for delivery and publication. The comments of discussants on papers and the authors’ replies are not subject to refereeing. Proposals for papers should be submitted to one of the Honorary Secretaries for the consideration of the Council of the Society. Papers should be addressed at topics in the areas of statistics, jurisprudence, social or economic science. In general, papers should fall between 5,000 and 10,000 words and be accessible to non-specialists. Accepted papers will be read before the Society at a date and venue arranged by the Council and will normally have two discussants to propose and second the vote of thanks.
