The Nordic Yearbook of Population Research (formerly the Finnish Yearbook of Population Research) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Population Research Institute of the Family Federation of Finland (Väestöliitto), in collaboration with the Finnish Demographic Society and the Migration Institute of Finland. The Yearbook, published since 1946, covers a wide range of global demographic issues as well as current population trends in Finland, the Nordic countries, the Baltic states, and other parts of Europe.

We invite you to contribute to the 2026 volume. The Yearbook publishes articles from different fields of population studies (fertility, mortality, migration, family and population structure), including original articles, book reviews, and commentaries.

Original articles are peer-reviewed, and publication decisions are made by the editors. NYPR has implemented the label for peer-reviewed scholarly publications of the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies and is committed to following the associated guidelines.

If you are interested in publishing your manuscript in the 2026 Yearbook, please submit an abstract in British English, no longer than 1,500 characters including spaces, to either of the two guest editors listed below no later than 15 March 2026. The abstract should briefly describe:

a) the theme of the article
b) the data used
c) the anticipated research method(s).

If accepted, you should submit your full manuscript through the journal’s submission system (see information for authors) no later than 1 August 2026. Articles should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 150 words. For further instructions, see the author guidelines.
