He also actively reviews for several supply chain (International Journal of Logistics Management and Transportation Journal) and quantitative methods (Behavior Research Methods, Educational and Psychological Measurement and Structural Equation Modeling) journals.

In addition to academic research, Jason provides commentary via LinkedIn on various issues that affect supply chain practitioners such as inventory levels, pricing dynamics, manufacturing output, and transportation activity. He regularly speaks at industry webinars regarding these topics. He is frequently quoted by national general media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, NBC News, The Washington Post, and Reuters as well as specialized industry news outlets including Journal of Commerce, FreightWaves, Supply Chain Dive, Business Insider, and Trains, amongst others.
