Call for Papers for a Special Issue of the International Statistical
Review
on ENERGY STATISTICS
ISI (International Statistical Institute) plans to publish a special issue
of International Statistical Review with the theme of Energy Statistics. I
am very pleased to announce that Dr. Carol Joyce Blumberg (U. S. Energy
Information Administration, USA) and Dr. Abdel A. El-Shaarawi (National
Water Research Institute, Canada) have agreed to be the Guest Editors.
It is hoped that the issue will contain papers covering different aspects
of
energy statistics. Some of the manuscripts selected for publication may
be
supplemented by a discussion by appropriate experts and a rejoinder by the
author(s).
Some general areas for papers are:
. reviews/surveys of significant developments in theory, methodology,
statistical computing and graphics as related to energy statistics
. relationships between energy statistics and statistics education
. expository papers on emerging areas of research or application related
to
energy statistics
. papers describing new developments and/or challenges in energy
statistics
. papers on the history of energy statistics
Some general topics within energy that would be of high interest for
papers
are:
. measuring the supply and/or consumption of energy
. forecasting future supply and/or consumption (demand) of energy
. forecasting future energy prices
. data quality issues
. issues related to renewable energy sources statistics
. measuring environmental effects of energy use
Papers will be refereed. Do not submit papers that have previously been
published or accepted for publication in refereed publications. Submit
papers by 9 January 2011 to Liliana Pinkasovych at the ISI Permanent
Office
(E-mail: l.pinkasovych@cbs.nl) as an attachment with a cover letter. The
cover letter should indicate that the manuscript is for the Special Issue
of
ISR on Energy Statistics. Manuscripts should be submitted as either Word
