Author Guidelines

Guidelines for authors

To start fixing your article you need to submit a final version that meets the following guidelines. It is about adapting the article to the rules of the journal as a preliminary step to the process of correction and publication.

If you have any questions, you can contact Felipe Corredor (gestio.editorial@gmail.com) before sending the document.

Theme and scope

The journal Anuario IET de Trabajo y Relaciones Laborales is an electronic publication edited by the Institut d’Estudis del Treball and aims to provide an analysis of the highlights of labour market developments, employment policies and industrial relations during the current year.

It has an annual periodicity and original works are published in Spanish, Catalan and English.

Presentation of originals

  • Contributions (articles) will be written in Catalan, Spanish or English and will have an extension between 6,000 and 10,000 words, including footnotes and excluding title, abstracts, keywords, graphs and tables.

  • The maximum length for reviews is 2,000 words and the same reference rules will be followed.

  • Items will be shipped in the following formats: .doc, .docx, .rtf or .odt.

At the beginning of the article: metadata

  • Title in Spanish, in the language of the article and English (maximum 15 words in each language)

  • Information about the authors:
    • Full name
    • Institutional affiliation in the following order: research group(s), university (or center/institution) and the name of the country in English.
    • Email
    • A biographical summary of up to 50 words in which, at least, the position occupied and the department or faculty must be noted.

  • A summary (up to 175 words) in the language of the article and English.

  • Keywords in the language of the article and English.
    • They must be separated by ";" (semicolon), with a capitalized initial letter each and no trailing period.

All texts must have metadata (title, abstract and keywords) in Spanish, Catalan and English, according to the limits indicated. If you are not fluent in Catalan, the editing team will do the translation for you.

Body of the article

  • Make a pre-text read to detect possible errors. You should not have change tracking turned on at this stage, it is the final version that you submit to publication.

  • All titles and subtitles must be clearly numbered, to be able to identify the level, ex. 1. Introduction; 2.3. XXXXX; 4.5.2. XXXXXX, up to a maximum of 3 title levels. You do not need to use automatic numbering.

  • Notes shall be numbered consecutively at the bottom of the relevant page and not at the end of the text. It is recommended to reduce its use to the maximum, and its use should be explanatory and never a bibliographic citation.

  • Non-textual material is only referred to as tables and figures, so drawings, maps, photographs, graphics... — anything other than a table —, are called "figures". Tables and figures must be listed and have a brief descriptive title above and the source below. They should always be noted in the body of the text by their number (ex., View table 1), and not by their position (do not use: in the following/previous figure), because it is possible that they do not appear exactly in the desired place on the final layout. Whenever possible the figures that are outlined or similar will be editable, except, for example, scanned photographs or drawings. If bar figures or other excel products exist, excel itself should be included with the data and graphs, it should not be added as a static image.

  • If there are figures, please send them together with the same article in a compressed file (if there are none send the item file only, uncompressed). The zip file must therefore contain: all figures in editable format, as far as possible, and Excel files containing the graphs presented, if applicable, in addition to the revised article itself. The tables should only be embedded in the same article in the manner described above, it is not necessary to attach them again in the table.

  • References to empirical material such as interviews or field journal entries should have the following structure, at each occurrence of verbatim citations (Identifier). Examples:
    “the only thing that on Friday I take it calmer, I take the two coffees but no longer at 6 in the morning, at 7am, then I go for the newspaper, I do the crossword and I look at it a little, I try to sit there (office) at 8 and peak or 9am” (HCTSF 45-55)
    Indicate the identifiers in a table or annex, in which case it would be: Man, working class without children, between 45-55 years.
    This type of material is not included in the reference list, only as indicated in the body of the text.

References and citation in the body of the text

The full list of bibliographical references will be placed at the end of the text. Only publications that have been used will be included and that they are expressly cited in the text: there must be a correspondence between the documents cited and the list of references. The legislative material will be indicated in the text in a complete way including type of document, number and full date, not including it in references, for example (Law 6/2017, of 24 October).

References will follow APA 7 style standards. Since the seventh version is new, we agree that you will use at least version 6. At the correction stage, the adaptation will be made. Examples of citation can be found at:

https://normas-apa.org/referencias/ejemplos/

Among the most notable changes of version 7 are:

  • In the quotations in the body of the text: citations from 3 or more authors will always, from the first appearance, be cited et al, ej. (Author1 et al., year). (In the list of references as such you should never use "et al.").

  • Book references or book chapters no longer include the city of publication, only the publisher.

  • For internet pages is not used "retrieved from". The date is only entered in wikis or websites that change, not in all references with URLs.

  • It is mandatory that the following exceptions apply in the reference list and in the citation in the body of the text, of the Anuario IET.

  • All references must include the first names of the authors as well as the publishers in the case of book chapters. Example:

Toledo, Víctor M. & González de Molina, Manuel. (2007). El metabolismo social: Las relaciones entre la sociedad y la naturaleza. En Francisco Garrido, Manuel González, José Luis Serrano & José Luis Solana (Eds.), El paradigma ecológico en las Ciencias Sociales (pp. 150- 220). Icaria.

  • References should separate authors with semicolons, except for the last one, for which "&" will be used. Example (bold is for emphasis, no need to include it in references):

Valenzuela, Juan Pablo; Bellei, Cristián & De los Rios, Danae (2014). Socioeconomic school segregation in a market oriented educational system. The case of Chile. Journal of Education Policy, 29(2), 217-241. https://doi.org/10.1080/02680939.2013.806995

  • In the body of the text, the ampersand (&) will not be used, it will be quoted with the connector y /e (or the one corresponding to the language of the article). For example: (Toledo y González de Molina, 2007).

  • References to scientific articles must include the DOI code, with the following format: https://doi.org/10.1590/S1415-527320080004000087

  • The format must follow the structure of the following example:

Dutra, Claudia & Libonati, Rosana (2008). Abordagem metabólica e nutricional da lipodistrofia em uso da terapia anti-retroviral. Revista Nutrição, 21(4), 439-446. https://doi.org/10.1590/S1415-52732008000400008

  • The doi number is preceded by “https://doi.org/” and it has no end point. Should not be used “DOI:”.

  • In the case of articles in electronic version that have DOI the URL (the page address) and the query date are not included.

  • It is also necessary to "activate the links" of the references (DOI and websites): adding a space after it, word/libreoffice does this automatically.

  • While some scientific journals are listed with the number only, most of them have volume, number, and pages, in the form: Vol.(Num.), pp-pp.

  • Normal book chapters are not added to references, only the entire book. Book chapters are cited only in the case of edited or compiled books, with different authors in each chapter.

  • References to scientific articles and book chapters should always indicate the start and end page.

  • Web pages (news, blogs, videos, etc.) must be added to references following APA standards (including first names, where applicable).
