Call for Submissions
Current world events have placed migration towards the top of the agenda of the international com-
munity and that of a great many individual states. Although much attention is being given to Eur-
ope’s current challenges with refugees and other migrants seeking safer and better lives, Europe is
far from alone in this concern. Times like these offer academic journals a greater than usual oppor-
tunity to contribute to the discussion, and we at International Migration wish to enhance the contri-
butions that we are making to the global understanding of migration and the effects that it has on
societies of destination, origin, and transit.
International Migration is fully peer-reviewed and sets academic integrity and quality as its high-
est criteria for publication. As the flagship journal of the International Organization for Migration,
we remain committed to serving both academic and policy audiences, and we will continue to seek
submissions that speak to both interests in the firm belief that policy is best formulated upon a
solid foundation of empirical research.
International Migration is a refereed journal whose contents explore current issues of migration
and its effects on societies that are of interest to policy makers in government, international organi-
zations, and civil society. The research and analyses we present are by demographers, economists,
sociologists, political scientists, and other social scientists from around the world. Ours is a global
journal. We aim for the highest standards of scholarship and credibility and, thereby, hope to
enhance the national, regional, and global discussions of international migration and its impacts on
those who migrate, the societies that receive them, and the societies from which they come. While
recognizing the inherent value of an understanding grounded in history, International Migration
emphasizes up-to-date and forward looking accounts that will stimulate further research into current
and emerging trends associated with migration and its effects, drawing attention to issues requiring
responsible consideration by policy officials and other decision-makers.
International Migration is interested in submissions on all aspects of migration and from or
about any country in the world. We request that submissions be no longer than 7,000 words (in-
cluding charts, tables, notes, etc.), are not concurrently being reviewed by another journal, and be
written in English. We employ a double blind system of peer review using experts in the specific
field of the submissions. Please submit your submissions to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/imig.
Our aim is to publish the world’s highest quality scholarship on migration that will contribute to
and excite the continuing academic discussions, provide information that not only informs the pol-
icy community but stimulates it to act, and motivates further research and analysis.
We look forward to receiving your manuscripts.
