New Issue of FMR

The latest issue of Forced Migration Review (FMR) focuses on "crisis."  Here is the blurb:

"Many people who are displaced, or become 'trapped', in the context of diverse humanitarian crises do not fit well within existing legal, policy and operational frameworks for the protection of refugees and IDPs. This raises questions about whether there needs to be – or can be – more systematic ways of dealing with assistance and protection for people affected by 'crises' such as environmental disruption, gang violence, nuclear disasters, food shortages and so on. FMR 45 contains 33 articles on crisis, migration and displacement, and eight general articles on other subjects relating to forced migration."

FMR45's theme section includes 33 articles, a number of which stem from work undertaken by the Crisis Migration Project at the Institute for the Study of International Migration (ISIM).  Eight general articles are also featured.

Tip of the Week! Online Access to Full-text Journal Articles

Image credit: Ell Brown, via Flickr

If you are a researcher who does not have ready access to a library's subscription databases, getting your hands on the full-texts of academic journal articles can get expensive quickly, with the pay-per-view price for individual articles often running in the $30 range.

Last year, I listed a few suggestions in this post for how to deal with this issue, but since this is an ongoing problem for a lot of information seekers in the forced migration community, I thought I'd share some additional thoughts about other possible ways to secure free or inexpensive online access to journal articles.

When you need immediate access:

1. Always search on the title/s of the journal article/s you are interested in. As authors become more familiar with Open Access (or are being required to provide OA to their work by their funders), they are increasingly making eprints of their journal articles available either through some kind of institutional archives or subject repository (like SSRN) or through their personal home pages.

2. Go to the web site of the article you want and try out the link to the full-text. You'd be surprised, but every now and then, it will take you to the full-text without requiring you to log in/pay first! Why? Depending on the publisher, sometimes free access is provided on a temporary basis for promotional reasons, yet that free access won't necessarily be advertised or highlighted in an obvious way.  So always take the time to click - you might get lucky!

3. Try DeepDyve. This is an online rental service for scholarly articles.  You can sign up to preview articles for free for five minutes; if you determine you want an article, then you can "rent" it for a relatively low fee. The downside: no printing or saving is possible.  For more info on this service, read PCWorld's review and this Scientific American blog post.

Planning for future access:

1. Alumni benefits:  Check with the library of the educational institution you graduated from to see if alumni are granted online access to any journal databases.  This will depend on each library's licensing agreements, but it's worth inquiring.  (For example, I was surprised to learn that as a Georgetown University grad, I have access to a variety of information resources!)

2. Join a professional association.  Membership benefits can include discounted rates for journal subscriptions or free/cheap access to the journals published by that association.  See, e.g., the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM). If your association or network does not currently offer this type of benefit, consider lobbying them to negotiate with journal publishers on behalf of their membership.

3. Promote Open Access!

If you are an independent researcher, please share your strategies for accessing full-text journal articles!

The Center for Forced Migration Studies at Northwestern University invites submissions for a two-day workshop designed to promote cross-disciplinary discussion and engage researchers, practitioners and policy makers in the theoretical and practical issues, the lessons to be learned and the strategies for achieving protection in these states, about which we know far too little"; deadline for abstracts is 1 April 2014.

Tip of the Week! Finding Your Way in Forced Migration Current Awareness

Image credit: Kat Selvocki, via Flickr

I have just added cross-references to my 2014 posts, where relevant. This means that when you are viewing a post that has either a particular regional or thematic focus, the cross-reference will point you to the last post that covered the same region or theme.  So, for example, the 2 Feb. 2014 post on detention directs readers to the related 14 Jan. 2014 post, while the 31 Jan. 2014 post on Syria directs readers to the related 23 Jan. 2014 post.

Of course, if you click on the subject labels for "detention" and "Syria," you'll accomplish the same thing. But most regional posts cover broader areas - Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, MENA, Oceania - and some thematic posts don't always have one all-encompassing subject term to capture the topics covered (for example, "law/policy items," "general items," "gender issues," etc.).  So I thought creating a trail of breadcrumbs, so to speak, might be useful for those of you who are interested in perusing these more general overviews.

That said, using the subject terms is still a good way to navigate the site since other types of posts - those that highlight theses or new issues of periodicals, for example - may still include references to "detention" or "Syria" which you might overlook if you just rely on the thematic and regional groupings I compile.

I take subject terms from the International Thesaurus of Refugee Terminology (ITRT) to "describe" the references listed in my posts.  Having access to a standardized vocabulary is useful for indexing purposes since it means I don't have to decide which terms to use each time I prepare a post, and I have something to refer to if I forget which terms I used previously!  The downside of a thesaurus is that it doesn't evolve as quickly as language does.  In the ITRT's case, it hasn't been updated in a long time - and it won't be, since that was the responsibility of the UNHCR library, which closed its doors in 2009.

Happily, this blog is also searchable.  The available search features have evolved over the years.  Originally, I just relied on the standard search box that came with the Blogger application (in the toolbar, on the top left). But it proved to be unreliable, so I added the site search feature to the sidebar on the right.  At some point, this too didn't seem to work properly!  In the meantime, the search box in the top toolbar was tweaked by Blogger, and now allows results to be sorted by date as well as relevance, which I find very useful.  So I recommend using it over the sidebar search (although I don't want to remove the latter since it's good to have a back-up!).

So cross-references, and multiple browse and search options are all available.  And even more tips for locating information in this blog are provided in the FAQ.  But if for some reason you still can't find what you are looking for, please don't hesitate to ask for help!
