Migration Studies is an international refereed, online only journal dedicated to advancing scholarly understanding of the determinants, processes and outcomes of human migration in all its manifestations. It furthers this aim by publishing original scholarship from around the world.

For over half a century, Population Studies has reported significant advances in methods of demographic analysis, conceptual and mathematical theories of demographic dynamics and behaviour, and the use of these theories and methods to extend scientific knowledge and to inform policy and practice.The Journal's coverage of this field is comprehensive: applications in developed and developing countries; historical and contemporary studies; quantitative and qualitative studies; analytical essays and reviews. The subjects of papers range from classical concerns, such as the determinants and consequences of population change, to such topics as family demography and evolutionary and genetic influences on demographic behaviour. Often the Journal's papers have had the effect of extending the boundaries of its field.Papers for publication and books for review should be submitted via Population Studies' Manuscript Central site, at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rpstOther editorial correspondence should be addressed to: The EditorsPopulation Investigation CommitteeRoom PS201London School of EconomicsHoughton StreetLondon WC2A 2AETelephone +44 (0)20-7955-7666Fax +44 (0)207 955 6831Email: pic@lse.ac.ukIndividual Subscribers: Online Access Activation.
