Why Another Publication?

Abstract

With the proliferation of journals in seemingly every conceivable area, one may reasonably wonder why an individual or group decides to initiate a new journal. Rather than go into a lengthy rationalization for the reasons for Multiple Linear Regression Viewpoints, it is more profitable to state that Viewpoints is not intended to be just a new publication, it is intended to be a new kind of publication. As such, it is not intended to supplant any existing journal, but rather, the unique-ness of Viewpoints is and will be in its format—and not just in the rather obvious differences in format from other publications.
