Two Journals and a Pandemic: Reflections on Being a Data Science Editor-in-Chief

Abstract

This essay is a collection of reflections from my experiences in the past few years, first as editor-in-chief (EiC) of the Data
Science Journal and then launching Patterns as its first EiC during the global COVID-19 pandemic. I discuss what I learned and
how I worked with these journals, and I close with some hopes for the next 20 years of data science.
