Sulla rivista

Focus e ambito

Labour & Law Issues è una rivista digitale che si occupa del diritto delle relazioni individuali e collettive di lavoro nell’ambito delle scienze giuridiche e sociali.

LLI si propone di avviare un confronto su regole, valori e concetti identitari del diritto del lavoro e sulle ibridazioni che lo attraversano. Prediligendo un'analisi comparata ed interdisciplinare, LLI offre uno spazio aperto di riflessione sulle nuove identità del lavoro e sulle nuove socialità disegnate dalle dinamiche produttive contemporanee.

La rivista si rivolge a un pubblico scientifico-accademico.

Attraverso il dialogo a più voci tra le scienze politico-sociali e i saperi umanistici, la rivista intende contribuire al ripensamento delle categorie giuridiche di riferimento della disciplina del lavoro, dei sistemi collettivi, delle relazioni industriali.

LLI è valutata in Classe A dall'ANVUR per i settori concorsuali dell'area 12 (scienze giuridiche).

Processo di Peer Review

I saggi inviati alla rivista sono sottoposti a peer review di due referees anonimi individuati dal Comitato scientifico sulla base delle specifiche competenze, esterni alla redazione. In caso di disaccordo tra i valutatori, il contributo sarà sottoposto al giudizio di un terzo referee anonimo. La presentazione di un contributo comporta per l'autore l'accettazione implicita del processo di double blind peer review.

La redazione si impegna a comunicare il giudizio dei valutatori entro un mese dalla data di ricezione del contributo.

Tra i controlli preliminari è previsto che ogni articolo venga sottoposto a una verifica antiplagio tramite il software iThenticate.

Frequenza di pubblicazione

La rivista ha cadenza semestrale, i fascicoli vengono pubblicati nei mesi di luglio e dicembre.

Norme relative all'Open Access

La rivista segue una politica di "open access" a tutti i suoi contenuti nella convinzione che un accesso libero e gratuito alla ricerca garantisca un maggiore scambio di saperi.

The peer review process, as described in the journal policies, will be followed by Editors with accuracy. They will keep track of the process and will justify any important deviation of it.

The decision of the Editors as to accept or reject a paper for publication in the journal is based on subject relevance and originality, and is guided by the review of suitably qualified Reviewers. Editors will ensure that appropriate and qualified Reviewers are selected for each submission, and will send to Authors the entirety of their comments — unless their content is offensive.

The Editorial Team adopts a work-flow that ensure that material submitted to the Journal remains confidential while under review. Confidentiality of individual information obtained in the course of research or professional interactions must be guaranteed.

The Editorial Team provides guidance to Authors that encourage accuracy, completeness and clarity of research reporting, including technical editing and the use of appropriate guidelines and checklists.

Duties for Authors

Authors are responsible for the articles they submit: they must assure the originality of their works, being aware of the consequences of misconduct. Authors should always acknowledge their sources and provide relevant citation details for all publications that have influenced their work. Authors must confirm that no one is omitted from the authorship list of the submitted material, despite qualifying for authorship.

Authors must declare all the financial and non-financial support for their research. Authors must declare any potential competing interest and must comply with the peer-review process by submitting a properly anonymized manuscript.

Authors are asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review. Authors are encouraged to deposit the underlying data in a public or institutional data repository for public accessibility and long-term preservation. Authors are also asked to provide full citation and a link to the deposited underlying data in the accepted manuscript. In case the underlying data cannot be shared on account of ethical or commercial restrictions, Authors should be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication and provide a suitable data availability statement.

Authors are asked to follow the Authors Guidelines published by the Journal, therefore ensuring accuracy, completeness and clarity of research reporting, including technical editing.

Authors have the responsibility to notify promptly the Editor if a significant error in their articles, both published and unpublished, is identified. Authors will cooperate with Editors in case any issue is raised with their articles.

Duties for Reviewers

Reviewers are provided guidance on everything that is expected of them including the need to handle submitted material in confidence.

Reviewers are required to disclose any potential competing interests before agreeing to review a submission.

Reviewers are encouraged to comment on the originality of submissions and to be alert to redundant publications and plagiarism. They will alert Editors regarding intellectual property issues and plagiarism and work to handle potential breaches of intellectual property laws and conventions.

Reviewers should help identifying relevant published work that has not been cited by the Authors. 

Handling of errors and misconducts

Editors have a duty to act promptly in case of errors and misconducts, both proven and alleged. This duty extends to both published and unpublished papers. In case such as errors in articles or in the publication process, fraudulent publication or plagiarism, appropriate steps will be taken, following the recommendations, guidelines and flowcharts from COPE. Corrections will happen with due prominence, including the publication of an erratum (errors from the publication process), corrigendum (errors from the Author(s)) or, in the most severe cases, the retraction of the affected work.

The Journal policies will be reviewed periodically, particularly with respect to new recommendations from the COPE (last update: May 2019).
