Guideline for Authors

• Write clearly – write short sentences and avoid jargon – and you will have a larger and wider readership.
• When you need to use a theory or concept, explain what it means. Remember you are writing for a general, not a specialist, audience, so assume readers have no prior knowledge about the topic.
• Explain the background of the events and any specific law or policy you refer to. If you mention a union or a labour organisation, tell us who they are.
• You can use either American or British spelling, but be consistent.
• Use embedded hyperlinks if it is an online source; use footnotes if it is an academic journal article, or a book. Avoid excessive referencing.
