The Impact Factor for Entropy is 1.502 (2014); 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.579 (2014).

The importance of using hypothesis testing in the development of research is widely recognized by the general scientific community. This Special Issue focuses on statistical significance and the logic of hypothesis testing and their proper application in practical problems.

Specific areas of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Formal applications of hypothesis testing to novel applied problems. Philosophical accounts of hypothesis testing (including contributions arguing for or against those).
• Methodological developments of hypothesis testing (taking in account the practical usability of them).
• Logical accounts of hypothesis testing.
• Logical (compositional) properties of truth values.
• Statistical significance measures.
• Epistemology of statistical significance.
• Coherence properties of significance measures.
• Surveys of the state of the art in one of the above areas.

The official deadline for submission is 30 May 2016. However, you may send your manuscript at any time before the deadline. We can organize a very fast peer-review, if accepted, the paper will be published immediately.
