In September 2021, the Journal of Statistical Software transitions to version 3 of the Open Journal System after using version 2 as the editorial management system for a number of years. Such transitions bring not only many nice and useful new features, but are typically also accompanied by some problems. All our readers and authors can help us improving our service by reporting found bugs and issues. More information in the full announcement.
