The mission of the Central and Eastern European Migration Review (CEEMR) is to foster an academic discussion on scholarly works and research pertaining to migration within, into and out of the Central and Eastern European region. CEEMR addresses a broad range of topics related to international migration including determinants, mechanisms and consequences of international migration, as well as migration policies, migrants’ integration and ethnic relations. Central and Eastern European Migration Review is published biannually by the Centre of Migration Research, University of Warsaw and the Polish Academy of Sciences as an online, open-access journal. Materials presented in the journal include original research articles and research reports. Priority is given to research addressing the CEE region perspective and comparative analyses. However, studies based on original empirical data focused only on a single country also fit the scope of the journal. The language of the contributions is English. Before publication, each submitted paper is subject to a double-blind peer review by at least two independent experts. We invite sociologists, economists, demographers, political scientists, lawyers, psychologists, historians and anthropologists to submit their works. CEEMR is indexed in: Scopus, Emerging Sources Citation Index - Web of Science (ESCI), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), EBSCO, Central and Eastern European Online Library (CEEOL), Central European Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities (CEJSH), Google Scholar, European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH PLUS), the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers and BazEkon. CEEMR is digitally archived in the Digital Repository of the National Library of Poland. The number of points awarded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education for a publication in CEEMR: 70.
