demog-data-analysisUse when executing and reporting the analysis for a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript so it survives expert, double-blind review — correct rate construction, honest uncertainty, and demographic methods done right (life tables, decomposition, event history, age-period-cohort). Guide
demog-data-and-reproducibilityUse when preparing the data-availability statement and reproducibility materials for a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript. Demography requires a data availability statement at acceptance with persistent identifiers and encourages reproducible, commented code; it hosts no repository,
demog-literature-positioningUse when positioning a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript against the population-science literature so it reads as a contribution of general interest to demographers. Demography readers span fertility, mortality, migration, family, and health, so the paper must engage the demographi
demog-rebuttalUse when writing the response to a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) revise-and-resubmit. Demography review is double-blind and synthesized by a topic-area Deputy Editor, so the response must convert every expert reviewer on demographic substance (rates, identification, methods) without alien
demog-research-designUse when defending the research design of a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript — choosing among demographic methods (life tables, decomposition, event-history/survival, age-period-cohort, multistate, microsimulation, projections) and, where the question is causal, defending identifi
demog-review-processUse to understand how Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind review, pre-review/desk screening by the Editor or a Deputy Editor, the role of topic-area Deputy Editors, and the grounds for desk rejection (inappropriate fit or unlikely to receive favorable revie

demog-theory-buildingUse when building the argument of a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript into a population-science contribution — whether the work is formal/mathematical demography, an explanatory account of fertility/mortality/migration, or a measurement/decomposition advance. Demography rewards a c
demog-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether a project fits Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) and which article type to target. Demography is the multidisciplinary population-science flagship, so the test is general interest to demographers and a genuine population-change question, not just use of demographic d
