Journal Submission Guidelines

The STRATI Journal of Labour Studies welcomes original papers from academicians, researchers and practitioners alike, and particularly encourages submissions that draw on policy-oriented theoretical and empirical research focusing on issues of employment and compensation, determinants of unemployment, effects of labour unions, and worker’s compensation and fringe benefits.

The papers should generally be 6000-8000 words with abstract of not more than 200 words, though more substantial papers will be considered. The contributions to STRATI Journal of Labour Studies reflect the interdisciplinary emphasis, which is fundamental to the journal. The papers will be double-blind refereed using an appropriate cross-section of reviewers drawn from the target interests. The journal aims for a turn-around time of three months from submission to publication to ensure rapid dissemination and dynamic discussion of ideas and results. The Editor, therefore, welcomes early contact prior to submission of manuscripts with, for example, an abstract. Book reviews are also included.

STRATI Journal of Labour Studies will be of interest to academicians, researchers and practitioners working in interdisciplinary fields across the social sciences, policy and decision makers in national and local government and relevant agencies, and non-governmental organisations. The Editorial Board provides a unique mix of expertise from both the academic community and a full range of interested parties.

The STRATI Journal of Labour Studies is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed, international journal covering policy and decision-making relating to agricultural economics in the broadest sense. Uniquely, its specific aim is to strengthen labour economics research focusing on integration of interdisciplinary input in planning, designing, and evaluation and enhancing the competence in labour policy analysis. The focus of the STRATI Journal of Labour Studies is on labour economics and policy analysis.

The journal aims to provide a forum for imaginative and creative thinking around the theoretical and empirical foundations of agricultural economics research. The areas covered, and their inter-relationships in informing decision-making and policy, therefore include: effect of institutions, technology, and/or trade and inequality in wages, minimum wage, unions, female labour force participation, discrimination, and crime.
