To make sense of the disparate issues related to a domain such as migration, The GovLab’s 100 Questions methodology (detailed in full in Addendum I) begins with a topic mapping. This exercise, itself a product of The GovLab’s R-Search methodology, relies on desk research conducted with searches of publicly available journals, conference programmes, reports, and databases to best understand common issues animating work by migration researchers and practitioners. This work allows researchers to develop a quick, albeit broad, understanding of the larger context in which problems and potential solutions exist. It can also be used to identify organizations and experts working on these issues who can be contacted to provide further context.
