The Journal of Population Economics (JOPE) was just ranked A* on the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List. This is the highest ranking a journal can achieve, reserved for a select group of journals demonstrating truly exceptional global impact. In 2025, JOPE’s Editor-in-Chief had received for his work two Springer Nature Editor of Distinction Awards. This success of the journal is the result of a strong and hard working editorial team: 606,400+ downloads in 2025 with over 1,200 submissions and a final acceptance rate of 7%.
This strength also reflects a deep commitment to service. While in 2025, 84% of authors rated their publishing experience with Springer Nature as excellent or good, the figure was 93% among JOPE authors. JOPE authors also stated:
- “The editors managed the peer review process well” (93%).
- “The editorial advice and comments throughout the process helped to improve the paper” (100%).
