Aims & Scope

The Journal of Population and Sustainability (JP&S) is an Open Access interdisciplinary journal published by The White Horse Press, exploring all aspects of the relationship between human numbers and environmental issues. The journal publishes both peer reviewed and invited material. It is intended that the JP&S act as an interdisciplinary hub facilitating collaboration and furthering the development of the field. The JP&S is editorially independent and welcomes contributions from scholars with a variety of perspectives on the role of population in environmental problems. The views and opinions expressed by authors are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the editor, the editorial board or publisher. We invite contributions from the social sciences, humanities, environmental and natural sciences including those concerned with family planning and reproductive health. We also invite contributions from those working for NGOs with interests in population and environmental issues. We are interested in publishing original research papers, reviews of already published research, commentary, opinion pieces, book reviews and praxis articles outlining practical interventions in the field.
