Dear GENUS Associate Editors,
we are pleased to let you know that we decided to launch a Call for GENUS
Thematic Series (you can find it below and in attach).
Please help us to spread the Call as much as much as possible.
You are also very welcome to edit a Thematic Series yourself - that would
be great!
In addition, we are happy to share with you three important news:
1) GENUS’s SJR index improved remarkably in the last two years, reaching
the 37th position out of 99 demography journals (
https://www.scimagojr.com/journalrank.php?category=3317).
2) Springer officially started the preliminary process to obtain the Impact
Factor. In this respect, it is extremely important to continue publishing
22-24 articles per year.
3) In the next months, GENUS will publish contributions from several
prominent population scientists, who accepted our invitation: John
Bongaarts, Heather Booth, Joshua Goldstein, Albert Esteve, Massimo Livi
Bacci, Ron Lestaeghe, Frans Willekens, Shripad Tuljapurkar, Elisabeth
Thompson, Alberto Palloni, Guillam Wunsch, and Jack Vallin.
With our best wishes in this difficult time,
Elisabetta Barbi, Graziella Caselli, Alessandra De Rose, Daniele Vignoli

*Thematic Series*
GENUS welcomes proposals for Thematic Series on a suitable demographic
theme. This is an invitation to scholars who are interested in editing a
Thematic Series.
GENUS is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open-access journal of
population sciences. Founded in 1934 by Corrado Gini, GENUS is among the
oldest demography journals in Europe. GENUS publishes articles on topics
that include, but are not limited to: family and fertility; ageing; health
and mortality; migration and mobility; formal demography; relations between
population dynamics and biological, environmental, economic, and social
change. GENUS is affiliated with Sapienza University of Rome and published
under the auspices of the Italian Association for Population Studies
(AISP).
Guest Editors will follow the overall review process of the articles
submitted for the Thematic Series. Articles belonging to a Thematic Series
are published as regular journal’s research articles as soon as they are
accepted for publication, and are then grouped within the thematic series
section of the journal’s website along an overview introduction of Guest
Editors.
