Submission structure, general style and format
International Journal of Population Studies requests that every new submission should be made and accompanied by 3 separate core files, namely manuscript, title page and back matter, and cover letter, whereas resubmission of revision file should be accompanied by 4 separate core files, namely manuscript, title page and back matter, cover letter, and response/rebuttal letter (collectively known as the revision file). Provision of supplementary files and/or confidential accessory files is optional or dependent on the nature of study and findings relevance. The table below briefly summarizes the type of files in a submission, their respective requirements and included items:
* Ideally, all information given in the title page and back matter file, except for the manuscript title, should remain the same from the point of submission to paper acceptance. Thus, authors are responsible to ensure that all information therein is accurate before making submission. Refer to Authorship and Author Information section on About the Journal for more information about International Journal of Population Studies’ authorship policy.
Submitting authors should refer to the relevant sections in the following for more detailed information.
Author metadata during submission
During the submission process, the submitting author must ensure that all particulars of author information, including full name, affiliation, and email address, are given in the author metadata column of the submission system. These particulars must exactly reflect those on the title page of the submission; this includes the author order of the authorship list. Provide authors’ ORCID ID, if available.
(1) Original research article
Original research articles refer to exclusively unpublished peer-reviewed research papers in demography and related fields. Papers may cover a wide range of topics on demography, as well as on population with a focus on empirical research, theory, and methods. Research papers are evaluated according to the quality, relevance and topicality of the key research question and results in relation to the current state of research. The assessment of relevance and topicality does not exclusively focus on the specific discipline, but also considers the contribution to an interdisciplinary debate between population studies and its adjacent fields of research. It should include critical overviews of the state of research, review of relevant research approaches and available results as well as references to the respective research literature, commensurability of the underlying research concepts and the empirical methods and sources/statistics. All articles in this category should present new findings or discoveries in a subject area that have not been published elsewhere. Quantitative and qualitative approaches are equally appreciated.
This article type typically has 5 tables and/or figures in total, approximately 50 references, and up to 9,000 words (inclusive of Abstract and References).
(2) Review article
Review articles are summarized descriptions of recent findings and significant developments about a particular subject area of research. Review articles should include critical assessments of novel technologies and evaluation of subject advancement, elucidate unresolved questions, encompass comparative analysis with a substantial coverage of previous works, and highlight future prospects.
This article type typically has 5 tables and/or figures in total, approximately 70 references, and up to 10,000 words (inclusive of Abstract and References).
(3) Perspective article
Perspective articles are author’s personal opinion on a subject/topic. Unlike reviews, perspective articles may cover a more specific part of the field. However, these are still required to uphold the spirit of academia of being objective as well as aim to initiate or further discuss on novel experimental procedures in the field. Therefore, perspective articles will be peer-reviewed. Accepted articles may be solicited or unsolicited.
This article type typically has 3 tables and/or figures in total, approximately 40 references, and 7,000 words (inclusive of Abstract and References).
(4) Report
Reports are documents that summarize the execution and results of a clinical case involving population construct or a collaborative research programme that is directly related to the advancement of population research. Submissions will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are usually solicited by the editors.
This article type typically has 1-3 tables and/or figures in total, approximately 20 references, and 3,000 words (inclusive of Abstract and References). In International Journal of Population Studies, the abstract of a report is unstructured and should be in the length of 100-150 words.
(5) Commentary
A commentary presents an in-depth analysis of current issues in population studies.
This article type typically has 3 tables and/or figures in total, approximately 50 references, and 4,000 words (inclusive of Abstract and References).
(6) Letters
Letters contain comments from reader(s) about individual articles. These letters must be constructive and contribute to the development of individual articles published or the entire journal. Letters containing new ideas, supporting data, or data criticizing the article may be subjected to peer-review (determined on a case-by-case basis by the journal’s editorial team). Letters should be addressed to either the editors or the authors of a particular article published in International Journal of Population Studies. The authors of the original paper may be invited to respond to these with a letter of their own.
This article type typically has no more than 3 tables and/or figures in total, no more than 20 references, and 2,000 words (inclusive of References). No Abstract is required.
(7) Editorial
An editorial refers to a concise commentary highlighting prominent topics presented in a particular issue. Alternatively, an editorial represents the official opinions of the editors of the journal or the special issue.
An editorial piece should not exceed 1,000 words (inclusive of References). An Abstract is not required. Up to 2 figures or tables are allowed.
(8) Book review
A book review can be a review of a single book (800-1,200 words) or an essay on multiple books on the same subject or multiple books from the same author (3,000 words). No figures or tables are allowed. A book review cannot have more than 5 references.
(9) Erratum
An erratum is a notification of a significant error made by the editors that affects the scholarly record or the scientific integrity of a published article. An erratum is always accompanied by Publisher Correction of the error. The corrections will not be made directly in the already-published articles. Authors who notice an error in their published articles should contact the editors at editor.ijps@accscience.com.
All publisher-introduced changes will be highlighted to the author for proofreading before final publication of the erratum.
(10) Corrigendum
A corrigendum is a notification of an important error made by the author(s) that affects the scholarly record or the scientific integrity of a published article. A corrigendum is always accompanied by Author Correction of the error. The corrections will not be made directly in the already-published articles.
If certain errors are found, author(s) should contact the editors at editor.ijps@accscience.com, who will evaluate the impact of the errors and decide on the appropriate course of action. The publication of any corrections to a paper is at the sole discretion of the editors.
All submissions should ideally be written entirely in good American English. Submissions in good British English can be accepted as long as a mixture of spelling variants are not used in the submissions. Clarity and conciseness are critical requirements for publications; therefore, submissions that are not clearly written will be returned to authors. Authors are encouraged to employ the use of English editing service to polish and edit their papers so that they are submit-ready or publish-ready. The articles published in International Journal of Population Studies are in adherence with the publishable standards of academic and scientific writing.
Please note that utilizing a language editing service is not a guarantee of acceptance.
Use sentence case capitalization in all aspects of the submission. In sentence case, most major and minor words are lowercase (proper nouns, including name of organizations and name of guidelines, are an exception in that they are always capitalized for the first letter of each word, except for minor words, such as conjunctions and short prepositions). The first letter of the first word should always be uppercase.
The title should capture the conceptual significance for a broad audience. The title should not be more than 50 words and should be able to give readers an overall view of the paper’s significance. Titles should avoid using uncommon jargons, abbreviations and punctuation.
The purpose of abstract is to provide sufficient information and capture essential findings and/or messages of the paper. For full-length article, the length of an abstract should be in the range of 200-300 words. The abstract should be unstructured. Abstract is needed in original research article, review article, perspective article, report and commentary.
Each submission should be accompanied by 3-6 keywords. Avoid using abbreviations and acronyms in keywords, unless they are established standard keywords. Separate keywords with semi-colons (i.e., term1; term2; term3).
Define abbreviations and acronyms upon their first appearance, separately, in the abstract, main text, table legends, and figure captions and legends.
(1) Section heading
Section headings should be in boldface. Examples of section headings of different levels are shown in the following:
Primary level : 1. Population of Indonesia
Secondary level : 1.3. High-dense communities
Tertiary level : 1.3.2. City planning in Jakarta
Authors are suggested NOT to introduce further sub-sections after the tertiary level section (e.g., 1.3.2.1. High-salt diet).
(2) Special sectioning requirements for an original research article
- The introduction should provide a background that gives a broad readership an overall outlook of the field and the research performed. It identifies research problems and highlights the importance of the study. Introduction can conclude with a brief statement of the aim of the work and a comment about whether that aim was achieved.
- Data and methods. This section provides a brief description on the method followed. The aim is to provide enough detail for other investigators to fully replicate the results. It is also required to facilitate better understanding of the results obtained. Protocols and procedures for new methods must be included in detail for the reproducibility of the experiments. Informed consent should be obtained from patients or parents prior to commencement of the study and should be mentioned in this section. Refer to the Anonymity and Privacy section of About the Journal for more information about obtaining consent. For research involving human subject, research ethics information, such as ethics approval identifiers and the name of Institutional Ethics Review Board or Institutional Review Board, should be indicated in this section.
- This section focuses on the results from the analyses. After (statistical) analysis, all results, including tables and figures, must be neatly presented. If necessary, this section can be sub-divided into multiple topical sub-sections.
- This section should provide the significance of the results and identify the impact of the research in a broader context. It should not be redundant or similar to the content of the results section.
- Use this section for interpretation only, and not to summarize information already presented in the text or abstract.
Post-acquisition processing of images, photos and figures should be kept minimum to ensure that the final figures accurately reflect the original data as it was captured and/or produced. Any alterations should be applied to the entire image. Any kind of alteration, including but not limited to brightness, contrast and color balance, has to be clearly stated in the figure legend and in Materials and Methods section. For simulated or model figures, the software used for production, editing, and/or processing should be mentioned. Presenting images in the same figure must be made apparent and should be explicitly indicated in the appropriate figure legends.
Data comparisons should only be made from comparative experiments (or data from the same experiment). Same piece of data or figure should not be used in multiple instances, unless the images/data describe different aspects of the same experiment (reasons must be stated, wherever appropriate, in this regard). If inappropriate image/data manipulation is identified after publication, the editors reserve the right to ask for the original data and, if that is not satisfactory, to issue a correction or retract the paper, as appropriate.
Use SI units.
Include all figures, including photographs, scanned images, graphs, charts and schematic diagrams, on a separate sheet, together with tables. Avoid unnecessary decorative effects (e.g., 3D graphs) and minimize image processing (e.g., changes in brightness and contrast applied uniformly for the entire figure should be avoided or minimized). All images should be set against white background.
All figures should be numbered (e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2) in boldface. Label all figures (e.g., axis, structures), and add caption (a brief title) and legend as a description of the illustration below each figure. Explain all symbols and abbreviations used. Each figure should have a brief title (also known as caption) that describes the entire figure without citing specific panels, followed by a legend, which is either the description of each panel or further description about the single image. Identify each panel with uppercase letters in parenthesis (e.g. (A), (B), (C), etc.) Figures must be cited in chronological manner in the text.
The preferred file formats for any separately submitted figure(s) are JPEG, PNG and TIFF. All figures should be of optimal resolution. Optimal resolutions preferred are 300 dots per inch (dpi) for RBG colored, 600 dpi for grayscale and 1,200 dpi for line art. Although there is no file-size limitation imposed, authors are highly encouraged to compress their figures to an ideal size without unduly affecting the legibility and resolution of figures.
If necessary, the editors may request author(s) to supply high-resolution and/or unprocessed images after submission or paper acceptance for pre-screening/review and production purposes, respectively.
Include all tables on a separate sheet, together with figures. Editable tables created using Microsoft Word are preferred. A table should be accompanied by a caption on top of it. Captions and legends (which are placed beneath table) should be concise. All tables should be numbered (e.g., Table 1, Table 2) in boldface. Explain all symbols and abbreviations used. Tables must be cited in chronological manner in the text.
Lists and math formulae should be properly aligned and included within the main body of the manuscript. List them using Roman numerals in parenthesis (e.g., I, II, III, IV, etc.) Lists and math formulae must be cited in chronological manner in the text.
Lists and math formulae should be given in editable text and not as images. Use the solidus (/) for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables should be italicized.
Do not use footnotes in manuscripts.
In-text citations should include the author’s surname and the year published. If the reference has no known year of publication, use ‘n.d.’ (without the quotation marks). The citation style depends on the number of authors for the reference.

Do not include citations in the Abstract.
This section is compulsory and should be placed at the end of all manuscripts. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list. The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should be excluded from this section.
The references in reference list should be arranged in alphabetical order of the first author’s surname. Authors referenced should be listed with their surname followed by their initials. All references should also appear as an in-text citation. References for journal articles should follow the following pattern: Author(s) followed by year of publication, title of publication, full journal name in italics, volume number, issue number in parenthesis and, lastly, page range. For references with 6 or less authors, surnames and initials of authors must be provided, and ampersand (&) should be inserted before the name of the last author. For references more than 6 authors, surnames and initials for the first 6 authors should be provided in the reference list, and the rest of the authors can be styled as et al. If the DOI is available, please include it after the page range.
