Special Collections contain articles gleaned from international conferences.  Each collection focuses on particular topics or research areas in sociological demography.   Often, but not always, they are regional specific.  In coordination with the editor of Population Review, guest editors oversee the production of the collections.   All articles are peer reviewed.
