Following on from the blog series I shared earlier this month, I will be posting more regular round-ups of open access journal articles produced by authors based in the global South (GS) and other geographic areas that are less well-represented in the domain of scholarly forced migration literature. This new focus will replace the more general OA round-ups that I have been posting on a bi-monthly basis.
As I am particularly interested in how GS authors make their work openly available to readers, I will organize references by type of open access (see a list of types here). In this first round-up, none happen to be green or hybrid OA.
The OA articles in this listing were previously referenced on this blog as of 13 November 2020.
