Journal Details
Labor History
Instructions for Authors
This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.
Labor History encourages the submission of scholarship in the history of work and its representation, labor systems, social reproduction of labor, social class, occupational culture and folklore, and worker migration as well as the place to go for new research and argument on the history of the labor movement, labor politics, and industrial conflict and regulation. LH seeks to contribute to a critical literacy encompassing trans-national and even global historical transformations.. Seeking historical perspective, we invite submissions on the designated themes not only from academic historians but also from other scholars, journalists, labor educators, and writer-activists. Full length manuscripts should not exceed 8500 words, 3500 words for research notes (including notes, references and illustrations).
Labor History asks two (three in case of contrary reactions) referees to review each manuscript without reference to the author's name or institutional affiliation.
Free article access: Corresponding authors will receive free online access to their article through our website and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Reprints of articles published in this journal can be purchased through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk
Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text, while in the second all document information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files authors will then be able to define the non-anonymous version as "File not for review"
