Since its re-launch in January 1998 as Forced Migration Review, the publication now explicitly addresses issues relating to internally displaced people (IDPs) and stateless people as well as refugees and asylum seekers. Through FMR, authors from around the world analyse the causes and impacts of displacement; debate policies and programmes; share research findings; reflect the lived experience of displacement; and present examples of good practice and recommendations for policy and action. FMR is usually published in English, Arabic, French and Spanish (ability to publish each time in all languages is funding-dependent), twice a year, with occasional additional supplements. It is distributed free of charge to a global readership and all issues are freely available online at www.fmreview.org. The FMR team consists of a Managing Editor, a Deputy Editor, one part-time Finance and Promotion Assistant and one part-time Administrative Assistant. FMR has an International Board of Advisors (IAB), who advise the editors as requested; sometimes review submitted articles; and advise the editors on potential funding sources. FMR is entirely dependent on grants (secured by the Managing Editor with support from the FMR team) for all aspects of its work, including the salary costs for all FMR staff.
