As the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Population Economics (JOPE), Klaus F. Zimmermann was invited to speak on September 19, 2025 at the Springer Nature Editor Summit in Heidelberg about the success story of the journal. On January 2024, JOPE introduced Continous Article Publishing (CAP) to ensure fast and efficient publication of accepted manuscripts. At the same time, it started a larger number of article Collections to signal topics of interest to generate extra high quality submissions. Recently, Zimmermann had received the Springer Nature Editor of Distinction Awards 2025. Below see number of submissions to the journal, 2011 to 2025.
