Longterm Settlement of Refugees

3. ORGANISATION OF BIBLIOGRAPHY

The American Psychological Association (APA) citation style has been used in this bibliography.

In addition, each item in this bibliography was allocated a unique identifier; its content described using one or more keywords and then annotated using the following headings:

  • Research focus/aims: a brief statement outlining the main focus or aims of the research/discussion.
  • Participants: used to describe the numbers, nationality or ethnicity, refugee status and current location of those participating in the research (for example, as interviewees).
  • Key findings/outcomes: a brief description of the main findings - where findings are lengthy, headings have been included to indicate the content.
  • Recommendations: a brief description of any recommendations arising from the findings.
  • Scope: a brief description of the nature of the research (i.e. the number of participants and the research methods used).
  • Country research undertaken in: the country in which the author or authors were based - where research is by an institution, that information has been provided.

The vast majority of items were allocated more than one of the keywords below. Appendix D provides more detail on how keywords were allocated. To avoid duplicate entries for the same item in the bibliography, one keyword was determined to be a 'primary keyword' on the basis that it reflected the item's main focus.

The item was then included under one of the following headings:

A. Integration and social cohesion, including keywords:

  • integration/social cohesion[9]
  • definitions or models of integration or social cohesion
  • indicators or measures of integration or social cohesion

The keyword field is also used to describe:

  • whether the groups included in the research or discussion were: migrants, including refugees; refugees; or refugees, including asylum-seekers
  • the location of refugees discussed in each item (referred to as host country, for example, United Kingdom) and the refugee's nationality or ethnicity or region of origin (referred to as source country, for example, Somalia).

[9] ‘Integration/social cohesion’ was used as a keyword where the article or research report dealt with the overall concept of integration/social cohesion, rather than one aspect of it, such as employment or housing, or with presenting a model or indicators of integration.
