Collections and calls for papers: While continuing to publish top articles in all areas of population economics, we currently encourage submissions in specific areas.

Join the JOPE Collection of your research area through publication of your top article in the prestigious and highly ranked Journal of Population Economics (CiteScore 2022 = 9.2; see for further information: LINK; SSCI IF 2022 = 6.1).

JOPE Collections are a set of published papers on issues of significant relevance for the journal. Authors are continuously invited (right now or later) to submit their related work for evaluation stating their specific interest to contribute in the submission cover letter. JOPE Editors will treat those submissions with particular interest and speedy handling. Articles will be immediately published after final acceptance, listed regularly and in the particular collection of the Springer Nature JOPE journal website.
