news from Elsevier
Here is an email I got today from Elsevier:
We are pleased to present the latest Impact Factors for Elsevier’s
Mathematics andStatistics journals.
0.498
0.716
0.879
1.028
So there are very few journals published by Elsevier in the statistics field, which may explain for the lack of strong support for the boycott launched by Tim Gowers and others. Also, the impact factors are not that great either. Not so suprising for Statistics and Probability Letters, given that they publish a high number of papers of uneven quality, but also gets a minimal 1. So it does not make too much sense for Elsevier to flout such data. (Once again, impact factors should not be used for assessing the quality of a journal and even less of a paper!)

I believe there is also “Statistical Methodology” and the “Journal of the Korean Statistical Society” also published by Elsevier but without the relevant indexing to get them an impact factor. But yes, not exactly top drawer journals.
JSPI seems to go for volume as well, I think I noticed they publish more articles per year than any other stats journal.

Thanks Andrew, I missed those two when trying to (badly) manage the cut&paste from the Elsevier page…
