Springer partners with IMISCOE on open access journal and book series on migration

"Springer announces a partnership with IMISCOE, the largest network of excellence on migration and diversity in the world, for the publication of their open access journal Comparative Migration Studies and their book series IMISCOE Research Series. Comparative Migration Studies is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal that provides a platform for articles that focus on comparative research in migration, integration, and ethnic studies. Comparative Migration Studies presents readers with an extensive collection of comparative analysis, including studies between countries, groups, levels, and historical periods. It publishes research based on qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods and promotes the theoretical development of migration studies. All in all, the journal provides a unique and explicit comparative orientation in the field of migration, integration and ethnic studies. Thanks to funding from IMISCOE, Comparative Migration Studies will be published fully open access as part of SpringerOpen and SpringerLink. Springer will also publish the IMISCOE Research Series, the official book series of IMISCOE. Most titles in the series will be published open access and will be available through SpringerOpen as well as on SpringerLink. The series comprises publications which present empirical and theoretical research on different aspects of international migration. With authors being specialists, the books in this series provide a rich source of information for researchers and others involved in international migration studies. This series is published under the editorial supervision of the IMISCOE Editorial Committee which includes leading scholars from all over Europe."
