The project will support the editor of Demography for the 2014 ? 2016 volumes of the journal which would be appointed by the PAA Board of Directors at the Fall 2012 meeting. Pamela Smock is proposed as the editor and will provide overall oversight of the Demography journal activities and coordinate all phases of work. Smock will be responsible for coordinating a team of deputy editors who will be assigned incoming manuscripts in their area of expertise. The deputy editors will then make suggestions for external reviewers of incoming manuscripts.
