Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A (Statistics in Society)

By Letitia Denham 4 months ago

The Royal Statistical Society has launched a call for a themed issue of the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A (Statistics in Society).

The title will be The Future of Online Data Collection in Social Surveys: Challenges, Developments and Applications.

Technologies change very rapidly and affect all aspects of life, including surveys and their designs and implementation. Data collection organisations in many countries are undergoing a paradigm shift in data collection and, therefore, social surveys, including censuses, are experiencing major transformations. There is an urgent need for evidence on how to utilise all the opportunities technological change offers and how to ensure that online data collection is effective and efficient, and results in high quality data, which can be confidently used for important policy and financial decisions. This themed issue of the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A, is dedicated to finding solutions to these

NOTICE: Change to ASAPS’ Annual Statistics Survey Methodology

ASAPS opted to change its survey methodology in 2018, which is why there are apparent differences between prior reports and ASAPS’ latest report for the 2017 calendar year. The statistics now only include board-certified plastic surgeons, whereas prior surveys also included dermatologists and otolaryngologists. The Board opted to remove the other specialties in order to:

  • Best represent the specialty of plastic surgery to media, industry and board-certified plastic surgeons.
  • Put forth our specialty’s actual numbers in terms of procedures performed, etc.  (It was suspected that including dermatologists and otolaryngologists deflated the surgical numbers and inflated the nonsurgical numbers). Both proved true and certain surgical procedures believed to have been on the decline or leveling out, are on the rise, (e.g. facelifts which increased by 22% last year).
  • Differentiate us from other organizations conducting similar, if not nearly identical surveys.

Lawyers

All lawyers must have a law degree and must also typically pass a state’s written bar examination.

Lawyers must have a law degree and must also typically pass a state’s written bar examination.

Education

Becoming a lawyer usually takes 7 years of full-time study after high school—4 years of undergraduate study, followed by 3 years of law school. Most states and jurisdictions require lawyers to complete a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA). ABA accreditation signifies that the law school—particularly its curricula and faculty—meets certain standards.

A bachelor’s degree is required for entry into most law schools, and courses in English, public speaking, government, history, economics, and mathematics are useful.

Almost all law schools, particularly those approved by the ABA, require applicants to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). This test measures applicants’ aptitude for the study of law.
