Writing instructions for peer review articles

Peer review process

Peer-reviewed manuscripts are reviewed by at least two experts. More detailed instructions on peer review process can be found at https://journal.fi/tyovaentutkimus/vertaisarvointitunnus.

Once the manuscript has passed the peer review process, it is assigned to editorial board. If significant changes to the manuscript are proposed at this stage, the manuscript is returned to author for revision.

The editorial board of Työväentutkimus Vuosikirja conducts all the reviewing and editing of non-peer-reviewed manuscripts. If significant changes to the manuscript are proposed by the editorial board, the manuscript is returned to author for revision.

Final decision on publication is made by the editor-in-chief.

Anonymisation of peer-reviewed manuscripts

Prior to peer review, the author should ensure that the manuscript is anonymous. The author’s name in file should be deleted, and the citations should be edited so that the author is not easily identifiable from the manuscript. If the author's name is mentioned on the manuscript, it should be replaced by [Author]. After the peer review, the author corrects such entries and adds his or her first and last name, status and affiliation at the beginning of the manuscript.

Sending manuscripts

Send the manuscript via the Open Journal System, https://journal.fi/tyovaentutkimus/.

Abstract

Provide a short abstract of maximum 1000 characters. The abstract should not contain any references.

Keywords

Include 3–6 keywords with your abstract.

Maximum length

The maximum length must not be exceeded. Reference markings are included in the maximum length.

Structure and style

Use “Times New Roman” with a 12-point font, and 1.5 line spacing.

Give your text a title. Subtitles may also be used. Do not number the titles.

Do not use hyphenation.

You can use Italics to emphasize a particular word, but do it sparingly.

Use single quotation marks inside double quotation marks when you have a quotation within a quotation. In other cases, use double quotation marks.

Indicate omissions within a quote by square brackets and three dots: […].

Indicate additions or changes to direct quotes by square brackets. E.g.: ”[L]uuli norjalainen toverimme meidän puhuvan leikkiä.”

Number and title images, figures and tables (e.g. Fig 1. Title.). Insert images, figures and tables into their desired positions and, in addition, provide them as separate files.

References

Use the notes and bibliography system of the Chicago Manual of Style: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html.

Use footnotes for citing. Provide full bibliographic information in a reference list at the end of the paper.

The first time you cite a source, give full details in the footnote. Abbreviate subsequent entries of the same source to author's surname, first two words of the title, and a page number. For example: Alapuro, State and Revolution, 32.

In footnotes, separate multiple references by a semicolon.

Give URL in full.
