Subscription Since the establishment of Pakistan Journal of Statistics, we have been considering the ways of collecting subscriptions. It is important that an income stream would be identified to secure the future of the journal. Some alternatives to the traditional subscription system were sought but subscriptions were eventually felt to be the most realistic way forward. By far the largest cost of Pakistan Journal of Statistics is Printing, publication and staffing. The journal employs a Publishing Assistant to work five days a week. The Assistant is responsible for day-to-day administration (which includes taking articles through the review process) and for publishing the journal on a quarterly basis. The Assistant also answers inquiries, such as reproduction requests, and maintains the journal's Web site and various online services. A few online journals are run on a not-for-profit model whereby a single individual or small teamwork to produce an independent journal. While this works well for small journals in tightly focused sub-disciplines and for low volume inter-disciplinary titles, running a larger operation that aims to compete against leading print journals requires a more secure operating environment. The work would be too onerous for a small team of academics already having too many other demands on their time.
