Refuge has moved to APA style citation with bibliography and minimal use of footnotes in order to facilitate better indexing by research databases. Please ensure that all new submissions conform to APA style referencing. The first issue that was published using APA style was Issue 37.1 in Fall/Winter 2020.

Read More Read more about Our first 2023 issue - 39.1 - is now open!We have some exciting news to share! With this next issue of Refuge (38.2) we are transitioning to a continuous publication model. This means that articles will be published as soon as they make their way through the peer-review and production (copy-editing, typesetting) stages, rather than having to wait for the other articles in the same issue to be completed first. With continuous publication, issues will be populated with articles gradually and remain “open” until we decide to close them and start a new one. For special issues, articles can either continue to be published all together or they can come out one by one, depending on the wishes of our guest editors.

We are very aware that refugees and other migrants are facing even greater challenges at this time due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. From lack of masks and physical distancing options in detention facilities and camps to border closures and halted resettlement programmes to a wide range of other serious and pressing issues, the situations confronting displaced persons around the world - already dire - have become even more urgent. At the same time, we continue to see incredible mobilization by migrants and their supporters around the globe in response, reminding us not only of their resiliency, creativity and determination in the face of adversity but of the continued need to document and analyse these issues in order to address the needs of today and lay stronger foundations for tomorrow.
We are interested in two broad types of submissions:
a. shorter research notes (max 2,500 words) aimed at identifying important dynamics, issues and trends, and thereby helping to shape the broader research agenda; and
b. longer research papers (max. 7,500 words) that adhere to the standard criteria of scholarly contributions to the field.
In issuing this Call for Papers, we welcome submissions on a broad range of themes and from a diverse range of experiences and perspectives. We especially welcome contributions of authors from the Global South as well as both refugee support workers and other frontline practitioners (e.g., health workers).
Authors are encouraged to submit an initial abstract (by emailing it to us at refuge@yorku.ca) to signal their intentions.
Alternatively, authors can submit an already fully developed work. Please submit longer research papers through our regular online submission system at https://refuge.journals.yorku.ca/.
We would like to begin including submissions in Refuge in early 2021 but we recognize that there are still difficulties in the ability of many potential contributors to undertake scholarly work, including peer review, due to COVID.
The range of questions that we seek to answer through this Call for Papers is broad, and includes but is not limited to:
Deadline: Ongoing

While we are excited to publish this new issue of Refuge, we are very aware that refugees and other migrants are facing even more challenges at this time due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. From lack of masks and physical distancing options in detention facilities and camps to border closures and halted resettlement programmes to a wide range of other serious and pressing issues, the situations facing displaced persons around the world - already dire - have become even more challenging.

Refuge: Canada's Journal on Refugees is aware that some authors and peer reviewers may have difficulties in meeting their original deadlines due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you find that you need more time, please let us know and we will work with you to determine a more suitable due date. We also ask authors in the system to please be patient as there may well be delays in either the peer review and/or publication process due to COVID-19 related issues. We will do our best to keep people apprised of any relevant developments as they unfold.
