The Vienna Yearbook of Population Research welcomes submissions for a Special Issue on “Demographic perspectives on migration”. Submit your manuscript until May 15, 2026.
The editors invite contributions expanding the state-of-the-art knowledge and methodological approaches across a broad range of migration topics, including trends and spatial patterns, innovative data and methods, socio-economic inequalities, drivers of mobility and immobility, climate-related and crisis-driven migration, links between migration and family or health outcomes, emigration and return migration, migrant integration and labour-market impacts, as well as migration forecasting and scenario development.
We invite original unpublished contributions (empirical or theoretical) in form of Research articles, Review articles, Perspectives and shorter Data & Trends contributions. All submissions will be subject to external double-blind peer review. Guest editors: Michaela Potančoková, Roman Hoffmann, Dilek Yildiz, Eleonora Mussino, James Raymer, Claudia Masferrer and Gregor Zens.
The
Evolutionary Demography Society is a scientific organization dedicated to fostering conceptual integration across disciplines concerned with population processes, including human demography, population ecology, and evolutionary biology. Our aim is to advance understanding of how environmental, ecological, and evolutionary forces shape patterns of fertility, mortality, aging, and migration in humans and across the tree of life.
The conference will take place in Fort Collins, Colorado. Registration and abstract submission are now open. Here are some key deadlines:
- Early-bird registration deadline: January 31th, 2026
- Final registration deadline: May 17th, 2026
The December 2025 issue of Population and Development Review, a journal of the Population Council, is now available. Population and Development Review (PDR) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that seeks to advance knowledge of the relationships between population and social, economic, and environmental change and provides a forum for discussion of related issues of public policy
CSDE and the UW Libraries partnered on the purchase of Dewey Data which is a research platform that provides access to third-party datasets across a variety of data categories including foot traffic, construction permits, healthcare, workforce, consumer behavior, and transportation. Follow this link to learn about how to register.
Since the start of our campus subscription in June, several new data sets have been added to the platform. NatureQuant provides access to a NatureScore dataset that estimates the amount and quality of nature and associated environmental conditions at any location in the US, as well as their NatureScore Urban Heat Index. LinkUp offers a dataset of job postings from over 80,000 companies located around the globe.
University of Washington faculty, students, and researchers are eligible for access and must register an individual account.
IPUMS announces the release of the 2024 1-year data from the American Community Survey (ACS) through IPUMS USA and IPUMS NHGIS
IPUMS USA: The 2024 1-year American Community Survey (ACS) and Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) data are now available via IPUMS USA. This release includes updates to RACE with new detailed codes for Black/African American and White groups.
IPUMS NHGIS: NHGIS has added the 2024 1-Year ACS Summary File, including over 1,400 data tables for geographic areas with 65,000 or more residents.
IPUMS CPS: We have updated the Supplemental Poverty Measure variables for the 2014-2016 ASEC samples to use revised versions released by the Census Bureau. These revisions reflect broader changes to the SPM variables that were introduced with the 2017 ASEC.
In Winter 2025, the UW Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences had its first external review since 2002.
The review found that, “for departments that have significant numbers of faculty doing quantitative research… CSSS amplifies this strength into a viable reputational and recruiting tool… For programs that are primarily qualitative in nature… CSSS provides unique training opportunities for students and intellectual nourishment for faculty that would otherwise be unavailable.”
The report also highlighted that, because “the demand for quantitative education, quantitative skills, and research collaborations are higher now than they have been at any point since CSSS was founded… it is important to continue to invest as that investment is greatly multiplied.”
The review committee concluded with recommendations “for bolstering the capacity and efficacy of CSSS as well as strategies for helping to ensure its sustainability in the future,” noting that “in the face of demographic and financial challenges, CSSS would help with the financial viability of providing crucial methodological research education across the university.”
The review’s findings and recommendations — including increased investment in CSSS — are being considered by the College of Arts and Sciences and are guiding our strategy in the years ahead.
Are you preparing a renewal, resubmission, or upcoming NIH grant application? Resources are now available from an October 2025 virtual workshop by ICPSR designed to help you navigate the requirements of the NIH’s Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy.
The workshop slides cover the essential components of creating an effective DMS Plan and highlight the value of transparent data sharing. You’ll gain insights into the NIH’s data sharing policies, learn how to de-identify and prepare both restricted- and public-use datafiles, and discover ICPSR’s many resources to support your research, whether you work with qualitative or quantitative data.
