They should document and examine events, trends, experiences and processes with an in-depth look at issues pertaining to migration and the immigrant experience.
- Comments (brief analyses of news developments, including but not limited to developments in legislation and personal experiences). They should have approximately 800 to 1000 words and the author should insert the source/s of the news. Comments of policy changes, specific laws, or professional or community experiences related to migration or the migrants are included in this group.
- Photo essays (of at least 15 pictures of a given group of immigrants or pictures related to immigration together with a narrative, explicitly identifying groups, places, and other aspects pointing to the relevance of the pictures).
- Chronologies (of immigration laws, changing in policy, or other immigration related events, including family histories) and Testimonials (first-hand recount of personal or collective experiences relating to migration issues and the immigrant experience). They can be presented in written format or as multimedia in which case they will be posted in the corresponding section.
- Educational videos and other similar educational contributions in multimedia format are also welcome.
Format: The commentaries and articles should follow the Chicago Manual of Style for in-text citation and bibliography. The authors should use electronically generated endnotes (not footnotes).
Tables, graphs, figures and pictures generated by the author should be inserted throughout the text close to the part in which they are examined for better visual effects. The documents must not contain tables, figures, charts or pictures generated by other authors unless they refer to historical documents for which the author has reproduction permits.
Students who have taken courses on international migration are particularly encouraged to consider polishing their final course projects for submission for possible publication following the established format.
