Production and processing
Upon submission, the editors make an initial judgment about the suitability of the manuscript for external review, based on scholarly quality and fit with the journal's aims. Suitable manuscripts are then sent to three reviewers for expert advice about the scientific content and presentation of submitted articles. Human Relations uses a rigorous double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. After these reviewers make their recommendations on a manuscript, the editors reach a final judgment. On average, the peer review process takes 10 weeks from submission to decision.
If your paper is accepted for publication, a statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to The Tavistock Institute will be required.
One set of proofs is sent to the designated author. Corrections should be restricted to typographical errors. The publisher reserves the right to disallow any other changes, as these may involve expensive resetting and delays.
Each author of papers published in Human Relations will receive one free printed copy of the issue concerned. 25 PDF E-prints of the paper will be supplied to the first-named author of the article (to be shared between the authors). The journal makes no page charges to authors.
OTHER INFORMATION
Requests for permission to reprint articles published in human relations should be addressed in the first instance to the Managing Editor, Claire Castle.
