Popular participation in FMR 38 cover design!
We decided to use a version of ‘crowdsourcing’... you can find a selection of designs submitted at www.fmreview.org/technology/coverdesigns
NEW: FMR#38
FMR#38 is a 4-sided expanded contents listing for FMR issue 38. It provides an introduction to the feature theme of ‘technology’ plus, for each article in FMR 38: the title, the author(s) and their affiliation, the introductory sentence and a link to the full article online. FMR#38 aims to provide enough information on the theme and each article to enable you to prioritise your reading and to access articles more immediately, while still encouraging you to ‘browse’. Please feel free to download it, circulate it and/or print it for reference or advocacy purposes.
New way to support FMR

Accessibility options
We were challenged in producing FMR 35 (Disability and displacement) to make FMR more accessible to those with visual disabilities. Since then we have been attempting to achieve this and we are now posting all articles online in a form usable by screen-readers instead of as individual pdf articles. You will find links to software to aid accessibility at the bottom of the main page for this issue.
Search FMR
We have recently added a new page to our website to help you search FMR issues on a specific theme - please use the ‘Search FMR’ button on the left.
FMR…
…presents concise, accessible articles by policymakers, practitioners, researchers and displaced people in order to share information, experience and recommendations on issues affecting refugees, internally displaced people and stateless people. Each issue has a feature theme plus a range of general articles.
FMR aims to:
- bridge the gap between research and practice
- provide a forum for the voices of displaced people
- highlight lesser-known (or little covered) displacement crises
- promote wider public knowledge of, and respect for, the UN Refugee Convention and the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement
- contribute to improving policy and practice for people affected by forced migration.
