Abstract
In this paper, we present a content analysis of Demography, the offici al journal of the Population Association of America. Our results refle ct patterns of change and stability in a number of areas, including: s ubjects covered, number of authors, gender of authors, type of data us ed, source of data used, affiliation of authors and statistical proced ures employed. The data suggest that the field of population research has become increasingly bureaucratized and complex, while at the same time continuing to focus on familiar research subjects. A relatively s mall number of population research centers contribute disproportionate ly to the journal.
