Sociology of work is the main Italian Journal that addresses the problems of work adopting a sociological approach, with particular attention to dialogue with other disciplines and to social changes. Each issue is composed of an introductory essay by invitation, a monographic section with editors, two or three essays on a theme proposed by the authors and, finally, a section called Notebook. All the essays published in the monographic and free-theme section are selected on the basis of periodic calls and subjected to a double-blind peer review process using the OJS platform. The editors reserve the right to reject contributions sent even at the end of the review process if they do not guarantee compliance with scientific quality standards and with the envisaged editorial standards.

Journal founded by Michele La Rosa in 1978

The magazine provides two referees chosen among the members of the management and editorial staff or among foreign correspondents. One of the referees can be, on the recommendation of the aforementioned members, chosen among other Italian and foreign sociologist experts. Since the magazine is a monograph, the supervision of the entire volume may, from time to time, be delegated to the two referees chosen, in addition to the articles supervision. The evaluations will be forwarded to the authors in case of refusal to publish too.
