Refuge

Aims & Scope

Refuge: Canada’s Journal on Refugees is a non-profit, independent, open access, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, bilingual journal. Founded in 1981, it publishes analytical, reflective, and probing articles from a wide range of disciplinary and regional perspectives, presenting writings of academics, policy-makers, and practitioners in the field of forced migration. The journal provides space for discussion of emerging themes and debates, as well as ongoing topics. It also features a book/film review section and occasionally publishes special issues on specific themes related to forced migration. Refuge publishes articles in both English and French. Refuge articles are indexed and abstracted widely, from the DOAJ , Érudit , JSTOR , Google Scholar and Scopus (Elesvier) to PAIS International (ProQuest) . All works submitted to Refuge must be original and must not be submitted for consideration with other journals. Refuge does not publish personal reflections on forced migration experiences, fiction, artwork or poetry. We equally do not publish scoping (or literature) reviews - unless the authors can demonstrate that the review makes an original contribution to the field of forced migration studies.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
