They must be ordered alphabetically by authors and according to the following structure: surname and initial of the name (in lowercase) of the author or authors, year of publication (in parentheses and distinguishing a, b, c, in case the same author has more than one work cited in the same year), title of the article (in quotation marks), title of the journal to which the article belongs (in italics), place of publication (in the case of a book), editorial (in the case of a book), volume and number of the journal, and pages (separated by a script, in case of a journal article or a contribution included in a book). Examples:

  • Toharia, L. (dir.) (2005), El problema de la temporalidad en España: un diagnóstico, Colección Economía y Sociología del Trabajo, Ministerio de Trabajo y Asuntos Sociales, Madrid.

• The references that appear in the main text of the article should be made by citing only the surname of the author or authors (in lowercase letters) and in parentheses the year and, if applicable, the letter that appears in the bibliographic references.

• The notes will be correlatively numbered and included over the text, including its content at the foot of the page and in a single space.

• The tables and graphics included in the article will be numbered consecutively, will appear in the place of the text in which the author/s wish them to appear, and must be original, including their title and source.

• The text and symbols that author/s want to appear in italics should be in that typeface.

• The Editorial Office will acknowledge receipt of the originals by e-mail, and the Editorial Board, based on the reports elaborated by the referees, will decide on their publication within a period of less than three months from the receipt of the original. In the case of the works submitted to the sections "Panorama", "Observatory", "New investigations", "Notes" and "Technical notes", these will be submitted to a specific evaluation process, so that the Editorial Board will resolve on its publication within less than a month and a half after receiving the original. In any case, the acceptance of publication may be conditioned by the introduction of modifications in the original text.

• The evaluation policy of the journal will be blind evaluation by peers based on the evaluations received by two experts on the subject dealt with in each article. In the open issues, the referees may be either members of the AEET or external members. In the monographic issue, the evaluation will be carried out through a blind cross-peer evaluation.

• The articles submitted to REVISTA DE ECONOMÍA LABORAL / SPANISH JOURNAL OF LABOUR ECONOMICS cannot be in the process of evaluation nor have they been published or accepted for publication in any other medium.
