List of Working Papers

Series editor: Mariña Fernández-Reino

The aim of the COMPAS Working Paper Series is to share new research in the field of migration with a wide audience of academics and policy practitioners. We welcome papers from any social science discipline that relate in some way to the COMPAS research agenda on migration.

COMPAS staff, Visiting Academics, Research Affiliates and DPhil students are invited to submit their research to the COMPAS Working Paper Series, but we welcome submissions from other academics and graduate students at the University of Oxford.

The working paper series is designed to communicate work-in-progress that will be eventually published as a journal article or book chapter. However, some journals do not admit papers that have been already published as working papers and may consider them ‘prior publication’. It is the responsibility of the authors to make sure that the publication in the COMPAS Working Paper Series does not risk their chances for future publication in a journal or book. If the working paper and journal article differ greatly, please ensure the title is different too.

All working papers will be reviewed by COMPAS staff.
