Current Issues in Migration Research (CIMR) is an open access, editorial-reviewed, non-traditional journal that aims to provide a platform for intellectual discussion that goes beyond traditional formats of academic engagement. CIMR offers researchers, teachers, students, practitioners and other experts in the field of migration studies a flexible medium to publish texts that contribute to salient academic and public debates and discuss issues that have not yet received sufficient scholarly attention. This makes the scope of CIMR broader than that of a typical academic journal, and more theoretically invigorative than that of a policy brief series.

We aim to publish 2-3 issues per year. Each issue consists of a special section dedicated to a specific and overarching topic, and a general section that includes different, un-related forms of publications (see below). The issue is registered in DIVA as an editorial-reviewed report with a DOI number. Submissions can be made in either English or Swedish. Contributions that contain other original languages need to provide a translation in English or Swedish. The editorial team will provide feedback on the submitted drafts and on the layout. The author(s) is responsible for any language checks. The editorial board maintains the right to reject submissions not suitable for publication and to decide on the final layout. 

CIMR is published online by the Malmo Institute for Migration Studies (MIM) (www.mau.se/mim). MIM is a leading interdisciplinary centre for research on migration, mobility, integration, citizenship, and the politics of migration and cultural diversity.
