From demog-skills
Guides demography manuscript analysis with correct rate construction, life tables, decomposition, event history, and APC methods. Ensures honest uncertainty, reproducibility, and reviewer-ready results.

Demography reviewers are expert demographers and the journal expects reproducible code behind the
results (see demog-data-and-reproducibility). Analyze as if a methodologist will re-derive your rates
and re-run your decomposition — because they may. This skill covers execution and reporting norms;
method choice lives in demog-research-design.

First lock the demographic process, data source, time scale, selection/migration/mortality issue, and uncertainty; then test whether the manuscript addresses population-science reviewers who inspect demographic process, measurement, cohort/period logic, and population validity.

Defends research design for Demography manuscripts: selects among demographic methods (life tables, decomposition, event-history, APC, multistate, microsimulation, projections) and justifies causal identification. Strengthens design without writing code.
Guides rigorous data analysis and reporting for Social Forces manuscripts, covering uncertainty, robustness, triangulation, and reproducibility for quantitative, demographic, network, or computational work.
