[R] Foundation for Open Access Statistics

[Jan de Leeuw]

The Foundation for Open Access Statistics is a nonprofit public benefit corporation registered in California. We have applied for federal tax-exempt status under Internal Revenue Section 501(c)(3). FOAS has a worldwide mission to promote free software, open access publishing, and reproducible research in statistics. 

Currently, the Journal of Statistical Software is the only FOAS project. JSS has grown rapidly over the 15 years of its existence, in page count, quality, and impact. It needs a more stable support structure to guarantee its continued existence and growth.
