Section Policy

Each issue of the magazine consists of a first section of scientific articles related to the purpose of the publication and a final section of book reviews. Occasionally, the first section may contain a subsection of thematic articles and another miscellany to publish articles on general topics, always referring to issues related to the purpose of the publication.

The magazine receives, throughout the year, scientific articles on different topics within the field of labor studies. Additionally, calls are made for articles on specific topics for the thematic subsection.

Reviews of recently published books are also accepted. Appropriately, it is planned to publish reports of national and regional academic meetings (conferences, conferences, etc.).

Arbitration system

The submitted works will be subject to evaluation by the Editorial Committee and anonymous referees. The first evaluation will be carried out by the Editorial Committee, which may directly reject the works received, without resorting to an external consultation process, if it considers them inappropriate for the journal because they lack the required level of quality, due to lack of adaptation to the scientific objectives of the journal. the magazine, or for presenting evidence of scientific fraud.

In the second instance, the Editorial Committee will send the contribution to two anonymous external evaluators, specialists in the field, who begin the double-blind arbitration process (anonymity of those who have carried out the work and the evaluators).

If the article is approved by the evaluators, who may accept the article with or without modifications, the decision will be communicated to the authors. When one of the two evaluations is negative, a third report will be requested. If modifications are required, the authors must resubmit the works with the suggested reformulations. In the case of major changes, the works will be sent again to the referees for review. When the works are rejected by both evaluators, the decision is communicated to the authors.

The final responsibility for accepting or rejecting a work for publication falls on the Editorial Committee, which must base this on the reports received about it. These reports must base their opinion on the quality of the works on their relevance, originality, academic quality and clarity of presentation. In all cases the evaluations are final.
