Periodical Formats: Print vs. Online

2007-02-27T09:59:00.000-05:00

I have come across several periodical titles that I was not previously familiar with. It’s interesting to see how the periodical format has evolved and the blurring of print and online versions. Start with the Journal of Migration and Refugee Issues: This is a typical scholarly journal, peer-reviewed and published by an academic press. Its web site offers contents and a sample article online, so no significant online presence.

Intervention: International Journal of Mental Health, Psychosocial Work and Counselling in Areas of Armed Conflict is also a peer-reviewed journal but aimed more particularly at professionals and practitioners. It’s produced by the War Trauma Foundation and published by Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins. The WTF's journal site includes contents of the current volume and pdfs of earlier issues, while the publisher's site offers a sample article.

Conflict and Health is a new research journal that is going the online, open access route. It will be refereed but hosted as a free full-text title by BioMed Central, whose mission is to ensure immediate access to peer-reviewed biomedical research.

Refugee Watch has also chosen an online format for its dissemination. It used to be a newsletter of the South Asia Forum for Human Rights (SAFHR), but is now published in a blog format by Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group. Access to the full-text of back issues is provided through the “Other issues” link.

Journal of Humanitarian Assistance

2007-02-05T13:53:00.001-05:00

The Journal of Humanitarian Assistance is back online. The Feinstein International Center assumed management of the JHA and has re-launched it with a number of new features. The format is similar to that of a blog, with a comment section accompanying each article and an RSS feed to announce new additions. Each article includes an abstract and hyperlinked keywords. The staff is working to convert the pre-2007 articles; in the interim, readers can access these texts through the archives.

So far, two articles have been published this year:
International Organisations in Mindanao: To Protect or Not? (Feb. 2007) [text]
Political Complexities of Humanitarian Intervention in the Pakistan Earthquake (Jan. 2007) [text]

Archived Journals: Hum. Aff. Rev., JHA

2007-01-23T10:01:00.000-05:00

Visitors to the Journal of Humanitarian Assistance will find a note indicating that "management of the JHA has been handed to the Feinstein International Center" at Tufts University. A redesigned site will become available this month (January).

In the meantime, if you need to retrieve an older article from the JHA, you can do so using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. This project regularly harvests and stores web sites. It's not perfect; for example, the JHA archive only has articles up to Feb. 2005 . But often, it's the only means of retrieving "older" or "lost" web-based information.

Another "lost" humanitarian journal is the Humanitarian Affairs Review. In this case, I believe the Internet Archive provides access to all past issues: Spring 2001 to Autumn 2004.

There are plenty of forced migration- and humanitarian-related resources that have come and gone, and not just journals. Try entering a former web address into the Wayback Machine and see what it comes up with.

Monitoring Journal Content

2006-05-02T10:00:00.000-04:00

I recently signed up for OUP's CiteTrack service. It's accessible from an individual journal title's web page, for example, the Journal of Refugee Studies. This service allows you to do two things: 1) track citations to a particular article that appeared in the specific journal through which you register (in this example, JRS), or 2) learn about new journal articles containing keywords of your choice that are published in an OUP journal or PUBMED or HighWire. Since I am more interested in the second function of the service, I selected the following terms for monitoring purposes: "forced migration," "refugee," "internally displaced," "asylum," and "humanitarian."

And here are some of my results:

Caulford, P. and Y. Vali (April 25, 2006), "Providing health care to medically uninsured immigrants and refugees," Can. Med. Assoc. Journal 174(9): 1253-4 [free full-text]

Mettraux, Guenael (2006), "Dutch Courts' Universal Jurisdiction over Violations of Common Article 3 qua War Crimes," J. Int. Criminal Justice 4(2): 362-371 [abstract]
