Aims and Scope
The recent pace of change within the subject of employment relations has been significant. New forms of management, new methods of pay determination and government policies have led to a move away from the traditional focus of collective bargaining and trade unions and have broadened the scope of the subject.
The British Journal of Industrial Relations has acknowledged these changes. It aims to provide content that reflects the growth and development of the subject, so that it can be at the centre of the controversies surrounding work and employment relations in the 21st Century. Its four main objectives are to:
- Continue to reflect upon the process of internationalization and encourage more articles on trans-national, comparative matters. BJIR aims to present the latest research on developments on employment and work from across the globe that appeal to an international readership.
- Extend the range of disciplines from which contributions are drawn. We welcome submissions from employment relations/labour studies, management, sociology, economics, law, political science, psychology, history, anthropology, social policy and related social science disciplines.
- Welcome contributions with a strong theoretical component. Empirical work can be of quantitative and qualitative nature.
- Broaden the issues covered and present overview of topics that are sometimes neglected in single discipline based journals.
Contributions deal with a broad range of topics related to work and employment and express a wide range of viewpoints. BJIR particularly welcomes authoritative contributions on:
- Equality and diversity at work
- Immigration and migrant workers
- The (im)balance between life and work
- Gender and race relations
- High performance management
- Internal labour markets
- Work attitudes and behaviour
- Work group dynamics
- Organisational cultures and networks
- Union revitalisation
- Labour management relations
- New public policies and labour regulations
- Corporate governance, employee participation and voice
- The impact of the global economy on labour markets and working lifes
- Transitional economics and labour markets
- International employment standards

Instructions to Authors Author Guidelines
The British Journal of Industrial Relations is international in its coverage, authors and readership. It publishes empirical and theoretical papers on all aspects of employment relations, the field of industrial relations being defined to cover all institutions and processes of employment regulation and their effects. The subject matter of the journal is thus not restricted to the analysis of trade unions, collective relations or formal contractual issues. Papers from all perspectives and disciplines of the social sciences are encouraged including economics, sociology, psychology, history, law, management, and organizational behaviour, political science and psychology, as well subjects that have traditionally not contributed strongly to the field of industrial relations such as anthropology and international relations. No one research method is favoured. Descriptive accounts of a particular country's or company's industrial relations systems without general interest are likely to fall outside of the Journal's scope.
The Journal is published at the London School of Economics but is international in its authors and readers. Papers are invited from all parts of the world, although descriptive material of mainly local interest is probably better submitted to a national journal.

NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS
1. Pressure on Journal space is considerable, and brevity is requested. Most full articles will contain less than 10,000 words though longer pieces will be considered and published on occasion. Research notes will have a maximum of 4000 words.
2. Papers as a PDF file are to be submitted electronically directly via http://editorialexpress.com/bjir. Please bear in mind that, with exception of the title page, all other files (manuscript, letter to editor, reply to referees) should be anonymised. This is to secure authors' anonymity. Please follow the instructions to register contact information and upload the paper.
It is the policy of the BJIR to conduct "double-blind" reviews, where the identities of both the authors and referees are concealed. Authors should therefore remove their name, address as well as other hidden information from their PDF file. Authors should be careful not to reveal their identity when referencing their own work in the text.
3. Papers submitted for publication will normally be scrutinized by two independent referees as well as by one of the Editors. An initial report to authors is usually provided within four months.
4. Submission of a paper implies that it has neither been published elsewhere nor is under consideration by another journal and that it is the product only of the author(s) cited on the title page. There is a one-year limit for re-submission of manuscripts.
5. Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission or during the review process by using the services available at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_language.asp
6. The BJIR is committed to the principle of replication of social research and expects all authors submitting to the journal to have their data, regardless of their nature, available throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication. The editors encourage authors to respond positively to requests from readers for access to their data wherever possible.
7. In preparing material for submission or re-submission authors should follow these guidelines:
(a) Papers must be typed in double spacing with wide margins. Sheets must be numbered.
(b) All articles should be preceded by an Abstract of around 100 words, giving a concise statement of the intention, results and the conclusions of the article.
(c) The word count should appear on the opening page of each manuscript.
(d) Tables and Figures should be numbered sequentially and be presented on separate sheets. Each should have a self-explanatory title and should be comprehensible without reference to the text. Presentation of complex statistical tables should be avoided. It is generally better to provide descriptive accounts of data in the main text and where necessary include a statistical appendix.
(e) Bibliographical references in the text should quote the author's name and date of publication thus: Booth (1987). Multiple citations should be given alphabetically rather than chronologically: (Sako 1990; Thurley 1960; Wood 1980). If a work has two authors, cite both names in the text throughout: Dunn & Gennard (1984). In the case of references to three or more authors, use the et al. form on all occasions except in the reference list.
References cited in the text must appear in a list at the end of the article. The list should be typed in double spacing in the following format:
Booth, A. (1987). Extra-statutory redundancy payments in Britain. British Journal of Industrial Relations, 25: 401-418.
Dunn, S. and Gennard, J. (1984) The Closed Shop in British Industry. London: Macmillan.
Note that journal titles are cited in the reference list without abbreviation.
(f) Page references should be included in in-text citations when references are made to literature, regardless of whether or not the reference is a quotation; thus (Kochan, 1999; 23-5). Only if the reference is to the book or article in its entirety should it be cited without a page number or range.
(g) Authors are required to avoid the use of sexist or racist language.
(h) If a long title is necessary (more than 60 letter spaces), a short title should also be given for use as a running headline to the article.
(i) Use endnotes, not footnotes. Keep their number down. The journal's preference is to have a maximum of five endnotes per article.
8. Proofs are sent to authors for correction of typesetting errors only. Authors will be charged for any other corrections. Two complimentary copies of the journal and one PDF file of his/her article are supplied to each author.
9. To protect authors and journals against un-authorized reproduction of articles, The London School of Economics requires copyright to be assigned to itself and Wiley-Blackwell Publishers jointly as publisher, on the express condition that authors may use their own material at any time without permission. On acceptance of a paper submitted to the Journal, authors will be requested to sign an appropriate assignment of copyright form, available at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/bjir_caf.pdf
The author's consent will be sought before any applications to reproduce material in commercially-published anthologies are granted. Fees are waived for photocopying of isolated articles for non-profit classroom or library reserve use by instructors and educational institutions.
10. Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Please visit www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
11. BJIR is covered by Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
