Forced Migration Review:
The Forced Migration Review (FMR) is likely to be my most favorite discovery throughout this journey. I looked through 15 issues seeking information on highly skilled refugees. While I did find information on this topic, it was not quite what I was looking for. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed going through FMR. As stated on their website:

"MR aims to:
- Contribute to improving policy and practice for people affected by forced migration
- Provide a forum for the voices of displaced people
- Be a bridge between research and practice
- Raise awareness of lesser-known (or little covered) displacement crises
- Promote knowledge of, and respect for, legal and quasi-legal instruments relating to 
refugees, IDPs and stateless people."

I love their mission and believe that they are doing a wonderful job. 
FMR is dependent on grants and donations and comes from the in-house publication of Oxford's Refugee Studies Centre. FMR is free and is translated into French, Spanish, and Arabic.

I also stumbled upon Refworld during one of my many searches.

Refworld:
This search engine is under the UNHCR. It consists of reports and special features on Refugees and human rights related to refugees and displaced populations. This search engine seems to cover many bases but with primary goal to inform people about migration policies as well as influence this type of policy.
