Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, has launched a journal titled Migration Studies, which will draw together diverse disciplinary and thematic strands of research about migration in order to consolidate migration studies as a unified field.
There has been an explosion in demand for migration research over the past 30 years, driven by intense interest amongst policy makers, academics, students and the media, it has been observed. Journalists, academics, students and policy makers at all levels are striving to stay updated on the latest data and thinking about migration. OUP's new journal is projected to meet this expanding reader demand.
Migration Studies is led by an international team of scholars, comprising migration specialists from every region in the world. Alan Gamlen is its Editor-in-Chief. The journal will span thematic and geographical divides to cover international and internal migration, free movement as well as forced migration, and will seek to publish scholarship with more international breadth than existing journals. Migration Studies will be free online for two years (2013-2014) and also available as a paid-for print subscription. It will be available as a paid-for print or online subscription from 2015.
