The Journal of Identity and Migration Studies (JIMS) is an open-access semi-annual online review that promotes high quality academic work and is committed to publishing cutting-edge, provocative, and thoughtful scholarship in the field of migration and identity, as well as in other related fields in the social sciences. It relies on the contributions of the academics, PhD students, researchers and experts working on migration and identity issues. JIMS is conceived to combine multiple and complementary perspectives on migration and identity issues. Our goal is to explore new directions in understanding the complex phenomena of migration and its challenge in redefining identity.
Each article received for publication enters a thorough selection procedure before being accepted or rejected. All articles under analysis are made anonymous and handed over to two referees whose reports shall be synthesized by the editorial team and provide the basis for acceptance or rejection. In both cases the author shall be given immediate notice. Even when an article is accepted, the editorial board reserves the right to ask for changes, both in form and scope. The referees benefit of high experience in the specific topics under analysis and in the overall editorial activity. Within the evaluation procedure, there are several factors, both quantitative and qualitative that are taken into consideration. The main selection criteria are: scientific excellence, originality, novelty and potential interest for the journal's audience.
JIMS is edited by the Department of Political Science and Communication Sciences within the University of Oradea as part of the project: “Migration and identity in a changing Europe: building partnerships and fostering communication”. This project aimed to build and foster partnerships between migration experts from CEE states through bringing together decision makers, international NGOs/think tanks, academicians to debate migration related issues and through creating and maintaining a specialized online based community. The Journal of Identity and Migration Studies-JIMS is part of this academic and scientific endeavor.
