Most research centres and think tanks in the forced migration community have not yet adopted RSS as a standard mechanism for distributing news and information about their publishing activities. But this is slowly starting to change. Here are five examples of organizations that do offer RSS feeds:
European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE) [web site] [feed]
Feinstein International Center (FIC) [web site] [feed]
Humanitarian Policy Group (HPG), Overseas Development Institute (ODI) [web site] [feed]
- Other ODI feeds are available.
Nordic Africa Institute (NAI) [web site] [publications feed]
- Other NAI feeds are available.
United States Institute of Peace (USIP) [web site] [feed]
Several information services use RSS to announce new additions to their collections. Subscribing to their feeds is a useful way to keep track of a wide variety of new policy and research publications. One caveat: There may be a delay between the time a report is received and the time information about that report is disseminated to a wider audience. Examples of these services include:
Eldis Newsfeeds [access] [conflict feed] [migration feed]
Forced Migration Current Awareness Blog [site] [feed]
Human Security Gateway [general feed] [generate a customized feed]
