Submissions

WHAT WE ASK OF AUTHORS: Articles should start with a clear and pointed argument, making provocative arguments or providing new, concrete information. For book reviews, we ask authors to go beyond summarizing the book to engage with the contents of the book in question. Contributors should avoid jargon, assumptions, technical language, “academese,” and rhetoric. Spell out full titles and put acronyms in parentheses upon their first use, including commonly used union acronyms. Where endnotes (please do not use footnotes) are necessary, please refer to the Chicago Manual of Style. Submissions must be double-spaced and in 12-point Times New Roman font. We prefer submissions in Microsoft Word format for IBM.

EDITING PROCESS: We use a multi-tiered editing process. Our editors and peer reviewers will read the articles, and comments are returned to the author. This process may call for a second or third round of revisions. After copyediting, the pages will be typeset and we will email authors the electronic proofs of their article for review. We will then incorporate final changes and perform a final proofread to ensure that the article is ready for publication.

New Labor Forum is peer-reviewed and indexed in Project MUSE, JSTOR, EBSCO Online, and ProQuest

"New Labor Forum is one of the most thoughtful and provocative publications on workers, organized labor, and the struggle for social justice. I urge anyone concerned about these issues to subscribe today.”
-Cornel West

“To build the new unity and strength that working people need, the union movement and its allies must have a strategy debate that is serious, open, direct, respectful, and diverse. New Labor Forum has stepped to the forefront as a journal that fosters that debate in plain language and with no holds barred.”
-Andrew L. Stern, Service Employees International Union

“A strong labor movement is crucial to a democratic society. New Labor Forum hosts the discussion, debate, new ideas and even the poetry essential to a revitalized labor movement.”
-Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor and Publisher of The Nation

“I am encouraged by the emergence of New Labor Forum. Our nation is in need of a revitalized labor movement, drawing on the rich history of workers' struggles. A journal that encourages bold new ideas about the role of labor in society is a valuable spur to labor organizing and to the larger challenge of transforming our society.”
-Howard Zinn

“The unremitting attack against unions since World War II has been an assault against the threat of democracy, and it must be beaten back if there are to be prospects for a more just and free society.  New Labor Forum is in the forefront of these efforts, which are of vital importance.”
-Noam Chomsky
