Working Papers

What are the eligibility criteria of the WageIndicator Working Paper Series?

The research paper should be based on WageIndicator data and/or written as a part of the WageIndicator projects. We will also accept book chapters written with WageIndicator data and /or written as a part of the WageIndicator projects, which are marked as accepted chapters. Policy briefs, reports, and similar documents are not considered in the Working Paper Series. Papers that are neither based on the WageIndicator dataset(s) nor belong to the WageIndicator project(s) will not be considered.

What is the format of submission?

The papers should be submitted to Leena Bhattacharya (leenabhattacharya@wageindicator.org), the Editor of the Working Paper Series, with Subject Line: Working Paper Submission. Please submit the full paper with a clear title, abstract, list of authors and affiliation, references, and funding acknowledgements clearly stating WageIndicator resources where applicable in a Word File. Please note that the paper will be designed in accordance with the WageIndicator Working Paper Series design.

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.
