Demographic Research aims to:

  • harness the potential of the internet. Articles may include data files, computer programs, and other supporting material, as well as links to other resources; and
  • promote the replicability of population-related research, by encouraging and recognizing contributions that allow reproduction of results through sharing of data and code
