In recent years, with the continued support and enthusiasm from authors, readers, and scholars alike, the journal has steadily enhanced its quality, expanding both its academic reach and influence. As a result, *Statistics & Decision* has been recognized as a "CSSCI Source Journal" for the eleventh consecutive time, listed among the "Chinese Core Journals" for ten consecutive sessions, and selected as a "China Core Science and Technology Journal" eight times. Additionally, it has earned the prestigious title of "China's Most Internationally Influential Academic Journal" for nine straight years and was honored by the National Center for Philosophy and Social Sciences Literature as the "Most Popular Journal in the Field of Statistics."
