Editorial Perspective
Posted on | October 6, 2011 | No Comments
Spatial Demography focuses on the spatial analysis of demographic processes. This cross-disciplinary work involves modern demographic data visualization, enhanced geo-referenced data availability, and spatial statistics, facilitated through full color graphics, motion video tools, and a quick time-to-publication.
Jeremy Porter and I welcome members of our Editorial Board. They have graciously agreed to provide leadership for this new outlet. The PressForward team has agreed to provide infrastructure support for this (and other) journals. We are thankful for both.
We welcome inquiries about submissions to Spatial Demography sent by e-mail to: editors@spatialdemography.org. As we work with PressForward to develop the site with more automated procedures for manuscript management, submitted manuscripts can be sent through e-mail at: submissions@spatialdemography.org. While we develop a more formal statement on submission requirements, interim manuscripts can be submitted in MS Word, PDF, or Apple Pages. Color graphics or motion video are welcomed as part of the manuscript package. Graphics should be in JPEG or PNG format at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Video should be in MPEG, MOV, or MP4 format at a minimum resolution of 720p (1280 x 720). A formal sheet of standards is forthcoming.
