Comparative Migration Studies welcomes Special Issues on timely topics. The objective of Special Issues is to bring together recent and high-quality works that focus on comparative research in migration, integration, and race and ethnic relations. Deadline for submissions: November 1, 2026.
Comparative Migration Studies (CMS) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal that provides a platform for articles that focus on comparative research in migration, integration, and race and ethnic relations. It presents readers with an extensive collection of comparative analysis, including studies between countries, groups, levels, and historical periods. CMS publishes research based on qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies. Contributions cover a wide disciplinary angle across the social sciences and the humanities. We are looking for articles that push present understanding of migration integration, and race and ethnic relations in new conceptual, methodological, and empirical directions.
All the papers submitted to a Special Issue will then undergo a double blind review process before acceptance and publication. All fields are required. Please fill in the proposal form below for assessment of the Editorial Board and send it to
