Publications

IMI strongly believes in the importance of open access research, and since 2006 we have produced an in-house working paper series that we make available without a paywall. Below you will find the full archive. To contribute to the series, read our submission guidelines.

IMI team members and fellows are also prolific scholars in their own right. Their words can be found in internationally recognised journals, edited volumes, standalone books, and myriad reports. We have brought together much of their work here as well. Not all is free to access through the links provided, but if you can't reach the material through your institution please contact us and we will try to help.
