Journal on Migration and Human Security

Aims & Scope

JMHS seeks to publish rigorous and well-argued papers that can significantly inform and contribute to the US and international policy debates on migration.

It particularly welcomes papers that: · Address timely migration-related “human security” issues, broadly defined; · Cover issues and research that receive insufficient attention in immigration policy circles; · Provide new information, ideas, non-traditional perspectives, comparative scholarship, or multi-disciplinary analysis; and · Articulate areas of agreement and disagreement on particular issues, as well as gaps in knowledge.

Papers are published online on a monthly basis.

In addition, CMS compiles a hard-copy volume of JMHS articles at the end of each year.
