International Migration Review
International Migration Review is a peer-reviewed academic journal focusing on the movement of people across national and subnational borders. Founded in the mid-20th century, the journal publishes empirical studies, theoretical analyses, and policy-relevant essays that intersect with work by scholars associated with Migration Policy Institute, UNHCR, International Organization for Migration, World Bank, and university centers such as Oxford University's migration groups and the University of California, Los Angeles migration research programs. Editors and contributors have included scholars linked to Princeton University, Columbia University, Harvard University, University of Chicago, and Brown University.
The journal originated in 1964 under the auspices of the Center for Migration Studies of New York and was conceived amid postwar debates involving participants from United Nations fora, the International Labour Organization, and researchers connected to the U.S. Department of State. Early volumes engaged with policy discussions shaped by events like the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act debates, the aftermath of the Vietnam War, and migration flows related to the Partition of India. Over decades the journal evolved alongside the rise of academic programs at institutions such as Johns Hopkins University and University of California, Berkeley, reflecting methodological shifts from demographic accounting tied to the United Nations Population Division to interdisciplinary approaches influenced by scholars associated with Stanford University and the London School of Economics. Guest editors and special issues have included collaborations with researchers from European University Institute, Sciences Po, and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity.
The journal aims to publish scholarship on international, regional, and internal migration that speaks to both academic audiences and practitioners at organizations like International Rescue Committee, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and governmental bodies including the European Commission and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Coverage spans demographic analysis influenced by work at the Population Reference Bureau, historical research engaging archives such as the National Archives and Records Administration, and legal-political studies referencing cases from the European Court of Human Rights and the U.S. Supreme Court. The stated objectives emphasize rigorous methods, comparative perspectives common to researchers at Yale University and University of Oxford, and relevance to policy dialogues involving the G20 and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Peer review follows standards used by journals at SAGE Publications and editorial boards comprising scholars affiliated with Arizona State University, McGill University, Australian National University, and other leading centers. The editor-in-chief works with associate editors drawn from departments such as Georgetown University's migration labs and the University of Toronto's migration studies program. The journal enforces conflict-of-interest rules similar to those at institutions like National Institutes of Health and adoption of ethical guidelines paralleling statements from the Committee on Publication Ethics. Special issue proposals often involve guest editors from entities like Migration Policy Institute or research networks such as the European Research Council-funded consortia.
Published quarterly by Sage Publications for the Center for Migration Studies of New York, the journal distributes print and electronic editions used by libraries at New York University, University of Michigan, King's College London, and national libraries such as the Library of Congress. Access models include subscriptions held by consortia like the Big Ten Academic Alliance and individual article purchases; occasional open-access arrangements have been negotiated for authors affiliated with funders such as the National Science Foundation and the Wellcome Trust. Digital archives interoperate with platforms used by JSTOR and institutional repositories maintained by universities including Cornell University and University of Pennsylvania.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in major services utilized by researchers at Scopus-indexed departments, the Social Sciences Citation Index, and bibliographic databases curated by institutions like ProQuest and EBSCO. It appears in citation metrics compiled by analysts at Clarivate Analytics and is discoverable through library catalogs linked to systems at OCLC member libraries. Subject indexing often cross-references themes prominent at centers like the Migration Policy Institute and datasets maintained by the International Organization for Migration.
Cited by scholars across departments at Harvard Kennedy School, London School of Economics, and University of California, San Diego, the journal has influenced debates on irregular migration, labor mobility, refugee protection, and transnationalism. Policymakers at the United Nations General Assembly and regional bodies such as the African Union have referenced work published in the journal. Citation-based indicators place it among core outlets in Migration studies, and prominent authors published in its pages have included researchers associated with Princeton University's Office of Population Research and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research.
The journal's archive includes influential articles on migrant remittances citing data comparable to datasets produced by the World Bank; methodological contributions engaging methods taught at University of Chicago's sociology program; and special issues on topics such as refugee integration coedited with scholars from Amnesty International and the Refugee Studies Centre at University of Oxford. Noteworthy pieces have been authored by academics from Columbia University, Rutgers University, Texas A&M University, and contributors linked to policy groups such as Human Rights Watch and International Organization for Migration.
