What is the purpose of this blog?

The aim of this Current Awareness Blog is to support the forced migration research community by highlighting open access scholarly materials. The specific objectives are 1) to make it easier for researchers to locate relevant journal articles and books that are freely available, 2) to encourage authors to participate in the wider dissemination of their own research output, and 3) to spotlight open access research produced by authors who are based in geographic areas that are less well-represented in the scholarly forced migration literature. The focus is on newly published items; references to these are circulated in daily blog posts that feature either particular regions or themes.
