Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society

The preferred method of submitting an article is to go to the Manuscript Central website: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/irel, where you can register as an author and keep track of your submission.

Please indicate your understanding that the article will not be under consideration by any other publisher while it is being reviewed by Industrial Relations.

Manuscripts: Article length should be no longer than 25-30 double-spaced typed pages with 1-inch margins, inclusive of tables, notes, and references. Quotations of over four lines should be indented. Do not include running heads of author(s)’ name(s). Submit your article as a Microsoft Word document, formatted as .docx, .doc, or .rtf. Please do not submit a PDF file or submit revisions with Track Changes. If you work with LaTeX software, please contact us if you need assistance during the submission process. If a submitted paper is accepted for publication, we will then need a Word document for copyediting and typesetting.

Title page: Please provide a title for the paper that is limited to two lines, 33 letters and spaces per line. Author(s), institutional affiliation(s), current mailing addresses, and phone numbers should appear with the title on one copy of the cover page. Place acknowledgments at the bottom of this page. The Title page should be a separate document from the article Word file.

Abstract: Please include an abstract of less than 100 words.

Notes: These should be endnotes, restricted to substantive parenthetical statements, numbered consecutively, and placed on a separate sheet(s) at the end of the paper.

Tables should be on separate pages, numbering them consecutively in Arabic numerals. Table notes include the source first, then significance levels given by asterisks, then table notes indicated by lowercase superscripts a, b, etc.

Variable names: Use English words for variable names whenever possible (e.g., Percentage Union rather than PCTUN), making variable names as descriptive as possible. Use initial capitalization (no italics or bold) of all words in names of variables in the text and in tables.

Figures should appear on separate pages in camera-ready form.

References: In the body of the text, place references in parentheses, giving the author’s last name and date of publication (using a, b, etc., if more than one work is cited for a given year). Include page numbers in the text only when quoting material. An alphabetical list of cited references should appear at the end of the manuscript; be sure to include volume number, month, and pages for journal articles and inclusive pages for articles in books.
