The Journal of Official Statistics is published by Statistics Sweden, the national statistical office of Sweden. The journal publishes articles on statistical methodology and theory, with an emphasis on applications.

We encourage articles on the following topics:

Methodologies and policies for the collection, processing, analysis, presentation, and distribution of statistical data. Examples of such topics are: sampling design; estimation; analytical uses of data; questionnaire design; quality control; data base management; confidentiality; ethics; dissemination; presentation of quality; training of statisticians; the role of statistics in today’s society; the relations between producers, users, and respondents; intra-organization collaboration; international statistical cooperation; and evaluation and identification of statistical needs. Articles may present theoretical contributions, interesting applications of existing methods, comparisons of different methods, or authoritative reviews.
