PUBLICATION: Journal of Migration Studies

The new journal offers a forum for the scholarly examination of the background and conditions of spatial movements of people in the past and present as well as of social change induced by migration processes in contexts of origin, transit and destination. The contributions present new findings from various disciplines and fields of research, discuss concepts or formulate theoretical proposals. All contributions are subject to a review process for quality assurance and are discussed by the editors. An intensive consultation process with the authors also takes place.
