Dear Readers,
Welcome to the latest issue of JSDSE, which includes our first three Brief Communications, a new part of the journal, along with three regular articles, an article on statistics education in the health sciences, and a letter to the editor that is related to a correction to an earlier paper.
In 2020 we published an article in which Kevin Cummiskey and colleagues advocated for the teaching of causal inference in introductory statistics courses. I am happy to report that LTC Cummiskey has recently won the Causality in Statistics Education Award (established by a donation from Judea Pearl) in part due to that article—which you can find at https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10691898.2020.1713936.
I remind you that you can submit a paper under one of the following four categories: General (which includes the health sciences and data science sections), Research in K-12 Statistics Education, Data Sets and Stories, and Brief Communications. All submissions to JSDSE are made through the Scholar One system at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ujse.
You can find past issues, our Aims and Scope document, guidelines for authors, and information about the journal and editorial board at http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/ujse20.
As always, I hope you enjoy reading this issue and I welcome your feedback.
Unbiasedly,
Jeff Witmer
Editor-in-Chief
