Editorial Checks and Errors

The Working Papers will not be peer-reviewed; however, they will undergo an initial Editorial decision to determine whether they are suitable for consideration as a Working Paper. The researcher is responsible for any errors or omissions in the submitted paper. The views are also personal, and WageIndicator will stay neutral on their stance. The papers once accepted will not be removed from the repository, but a revised version can be added to the portal in case of errors.

Where will the Working Papers be published?

The Working Papers will be published on the WageIndicator website, and they will also be circulated through EconStor, a service of the ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, and RePEc (see IDEAS). The papers will be cross-referenced through Google Scholar and will be widely available to researchers and practitioners.
