Proceedings of the 65th Annual Conference of the South African Statistical Association

SASA will once again be producing proceedings of peer-reviewed papers from its annual conference. Presenters who would like to submit contributions for review and publication in the proceedings are invited to submit their papers to the Proceedings Editor. Papers should contain original research on theoretical or applied statistics.

The deadline for submission of papers is 31 January 2025.

The proceedings will be published in April 2025.

Submission instructions

Submissions open on 1 November 2024. Papers must be submitted by email directly to the Proceedings Editor (proceedings.editor@sastat.org) as a single PDF document. Papers may be typeset using any software (including Microsoft Word).

Each submission is limited to 15 pages. To help gauge the 15-page limit, we recommend using the SASJ LaTeX template available on the website at https://bit.ly/3uwIUzA

Accepted papers

After completion of a double-blind peer review process, the authors of accepted papers will be responsible for transferring the paper to LaTeX in the official SASJ LaTeX template.

Presenting the paper at the SASA conference

All accepted papers must be presented as oral presentations at the 2024 SASA conference by one of the contributing authors. If authors are unable to do so, the paper will be removed from the conference proceedings. Presenting authors of accepted papers must ensure both the following:

1.      they are registered for the SASA conference, and

2.      an abstract for oral presentation is submitted to the conference for presentation.
