Quality Engineering will be publishing a special edition on statistical engineering in the fall of 2022. To be considered for this special edition, papers will need to be submitted to Quality Engineering online between November 1, 2021, and June 1, 2022.

Reviewers will be looking for evidence of some (not all) of the following core aspects of statistical engineering:

• Sequential approaches, versus “one-shot” studies
• Addressing large, complex, unstructured problems (for example, those too large to be addressed with traditional Lean Six Sigma projects)
• Discussion of the difficult tasks of problem structuring and developing deep understanding of the historical context of problems
• Utilization of multiple methods, including non-statistical methods
• Development of an overall strategy for attacking large problems
• Incorporation of subject-matter knowledge into the problem strategy and solution
• Deployment of sustainable solutions
• Consideration of the pedigree of data analyzed
• Utilization of the major phases of statistical engineering
