Notes

1. University of Adelaide, ‘Longer Term View Needed of Ageing Migrants’, Media Release, August 9, 2013, https://www.adelaide.edu.au/news/news63721.html

2. The term ‘policy scholars’ draws on personal reflections of Dr Demetrios P. Papademetriou, Distinguished Senior Fellow, President Emeritus and Co-founder, Migration Policy Institute, Founder and President, Migration Policy Institute Europe, and is based on his 45 years’ experience working with migration academics and policymakers globally.

3. Australian Research Council submission, 2014.

4. It is perhaps worth acknowledging that I have long argued that ‘grey’ literature could benefit from individual (named) authorship and more rigorous peer-review processes, specifically for research outputs (as opposed to policy outputs).
