We are delighted to share with you IOM’s latest research outputs, including the latest Migration Research Series (MRS) paper authored by Prof. Ronald Skeldon, the World Economic Forum-IOM Migration Transformation Map and podcast as well as a call for abstracts and reviewers for the MRS and International Migration journal respectively. This update also presents  the World Migration Report update on Latin America and the Caribbean, the latest early view articles of the journal, International Migration , an invitation to migration researchers to present at our Migration Research at lunchtime seminars, and a presentation by Marie McAuliffe, IOM's head of research, at the European University Institute/Migration Policy Centre annual conference.

International Migration, Internal Migration, Mobility and Urbanization: Towards More Integrated Approaches: Authored by Prof. Ronald Skeldon, this new publication in the IOM Migration Research Series explores migration as one of the most problematic of the population variables. While reviewing the various instruments to measure international and internal migration, the research questions the tendency to consider the diverse forms of mobility separately from one another.

International Migration is IOM's refereed, policy oriented journal on migration issues as analysed by demographers, economists, sociologists, political scientists and other social scientists from all parts of the world.

Given the success of its previous call for abstracts, IOM is pleased to share a new call for abstracts for its Migration Research Series. 

International Migration's success depends in large part on the expertise and goodwill of its valued reviewers, who give their time to ensure the journal continues to publish the very best papers in educational research from around the world.

Are you coming to Geneva? Are you a migration researcher working on subjects relevant to migration policy and practice? We'd be delighted to have you present your work at IOM HQ as part of our Migration Research @ Lunchtime Seminars.
