Refugee Review Call for Submissions - VOLUME IV Emerging Issues in Forced Migration - Perspectives from Research and Practice
The ESPMI Network is pleased to announce the call for submissions for the fourth volume of its journal, Refugee Review. It is an open-access, peer-reviewed e-journal that features a range of submission styles by scholars, practitioners, activists, artists, migrants, and anyone else working and studying within the field of forced migration. Refugee Review is an independent platform, offering a unique publishing opportunity for early-stage professionals, as well as for established scholars that support its mission. Refugee Review has a commitment to equity, respect, and honours the dignity of all persons. Accordingly, we reserve the right to refuse, or request amendment of any submissions that may degrade the dignity of a particular group.
2018 Call for Submissions Overview
Scholars and practitioners worldwide are grappling with key questions related to research and practice, particularly concerning ethics, representation, and impact. The next issue of the Refugee Review intends to explore and expand these issues by focusing on four areas in forced migration: new dissemination practices and public engagement, bridging research to policy and practice, methodological challenges and innovations, and supporting emerging scholars and practitioners (please see the ESPMI website for details on the four Thematic Areas).
Within these thematic areas, we invite submissions in four styles: academic articles, opinion papers, practitioner reports, and multimedia submissions (please see the ESPMI website for details on Submission Categories). If prospective contributors have another submission format, let us know and we will work to accommodate it. Submissions must not be of previously published work or in submission elsewhere.
Submissions are encouraged from cross-disciplinary perspectives that concern refugees and forced migration. Contributions may include, but are not limited to, novel approaches, preliminary results from field research, changing legal standards, gaps in protection, regional case studies, gender-related aspects, social innovation practices, and policy responses.
Review process
All contributors are required to submit an abstract for review prior to submission of a complete piece (see Abstract Submission Guidelines). Prospective contributors will be informed of their abstract acceptance within two weeks from submission. If their abstract is accepted, prospective contributors will then be invited to submit their final piece within six weeks. At this stage, all submissions will go through a peer-review process. Submissions that are accepted for publication will undergo a peer-editing process.
The editing team may, when deemed appropriate, move submissions to different sections of the issue (for example from the Academic Article section to the Opinion Piece section). If contributors prefer a specific category of submission or style during the review process, please indicate that clearly.
