The editors are pleased to report some good news regarding Statistical Modelling. To start, the journal is now within reach of its 20th volume—or two decades in the making! With this, our five-year Impact Factor is at an all-time high of 1.65. Concerning our one-year Impact Factor, the journal now ranks near the median (63rd of 123) among Statistics and Probability journals (and last year we hit our best ranking which was in the top tercile). Downloads for journal articles are up more than 35% from last year, with over 36 000 visits from 169 countries, and these downloads were primarily recent works, giving indication of publication relevance. Online First is running smoothly and brings accepted papers online roughly within six weeks after acceptance (while allowing colour figures). As always, our goal is to make Statistical Modelling the primary research resource for statistical modellers, as well as an attractive outlet for statistical modellers to submit their own quality manuscripts (within the journal’s aims and scope found at www.statmod.org/smij). In return, the editors promise our authors a timely and professional review.
