The Stata Journal is a printed and electronic journal containing reviewed articles related to Stata together with community-contributed software additions to Stata. The Journal is included in scientific citation indexes. The Stata Journal is available by subscription. Accompanying each issue is software that can be installed into Stata.

The software is available for free over the Internet to both subscribers and nonsubscribers. The Stata Journal is a publication for all Stata users, both novice and experienced, with various levels of expertise in statistics, research design, data management, graphics, reporting of results, and of Stata in particular.

The numerous daily postings on Statalist illustrate very well the readership we have in mind, as those who follow it will appreciate. Statalist is centered on, but in no sense limited to, Stata users. Statalist is widely appreciated, not just as a relatively rapid and effective way of solving Stata problems, but also as a source of wisdom on statistical matters in the widest sense.

It is this mix that we seek to emulate, although with more substantial and more durable contributions, in the Stata Journal. The Stata Journal publishes reviewed papers together with shorter notes or comments, regular columns, book reviews, and other material of interest to Stata users. Notes and comments are normally short about one page or less. Notes may include, for example, explanation of a neat trick using a few lines of Stata, which appears to be worth publicizing.

The inequalities go further. Anyone with any experience knows that data management is often very time-consuming but authors wanting to be candid and detailed about the process of getting data in shape -- including the commands they used -- would often be told by reviewers to cut that down or cut it out.

Standards are rising to the extent that having reproducible code for a project is more often an expectation, but no one really wants to read someone else's do-file thousands of lines long. The point may more usually be that if something seemed off there is more scope for checking how it arises. Conversely, it seems to me that very few texts prepare students for the shock of how messy and awkward datasets can be. Perhaps the authors don't want to make the subject seem even more complicated and difficult.
