“…To find reviewers for the open review process, potential candidates with a key focus on topical expertise were contacted by authors and editors alike (see also Kallio & Riding 2019). This meant that in some cases the reviewers and the authors were well aware of each other's work and some had past or even ongoing research collaboration.…”

Depopulation and shrinkage are a common socio-spatial phenomenon in many Northern localities and are frequently accompanied by a stigmatization of the affected localities and their populations. This editorial introduces the special issue on depopulation and shrinkage in a Northern context that takes its point of departure from the Nordic Geographers Meeting 2022 on multiple geographies and its keynote lecture by Josefina Syssner on the question: What can geographers do for shrinking geographies? The special issue displays a range of contributions from Northern context that discuss and evaluate the heterogenous processes of shrinking localities from multiple perspectives within and beyond geography. Through broad, yet empirically detailed and multiscalar focused assessments it stresses that shrinkage as a phenomenon is a fundamental character of Nordic and other societies, which requires a rethinking and should be acknowledged as a ‘natural’ development trajectory in planning and development.

“…This short commemoration piece wishes to highlight positive dimensions in scientific publishing. While I have directed much of my recent attention to the oppositeto the criticism of the current development in market-driven academic publishing (see Kallio, 2017;Kallio & Hyvärinen, 2017;Kallio & Metzger, 2018;Kallio & Riding, 2019;Riding et al, 2020) here I share my experiences from working with Ronan Paddison for over 10 years, while he was the editor-in-chief of Space and Polity, to argue for what should be preserved and further developed in academic journals, be they commercial or nonprofit. During my academic career I have learned that the quality of editorial work does not depend on such matters, any more than it has to do with the indexing or impact factor of the journal, rather editorial attitude and understanding are decisive.…”
