AASLE 2021CONFERENCE

AASLE 2021 hosted by PKU in Beijing, China on 9-11 December 2021 has now cocluded. The event was a huge success; you can watch all keynote and invited lectures on our YouTube Channel

​

​

All presenters of AASLE2021 have now received an invitation to submit their presented paper to the Special Issue of Labour Economics. The deadline for submission is January 31, 2022, and the special issue is expected to be published by November 2022.

​

Please note that, in addition to the usual requirements for submissions to Labour Economics (see below) we have decided on two additional requirements to stimulate concise papers and to improve the efficiency of the reviewing process:

1) submitted papers have no more than 12,000 words, excluding title page and abstract, tables and figures, and list of references;
2) the number of figures and tables must add up to no more than 10 and they must cover no more than 10 pages in reasonable layout.

Finally, please note that in case you have submitted this paper before to a regular issue or another special issue of Labour Economics, you cannot submit it again to this conference issue. Similarly, if your paper is under consideration or has been accepted for publication by a journal other than Labour Economics, it also cannot be submitted to this conference issue.

Instructions for Submitting a Paper

​

1. Go to https://www.editorialmanager.com/labeco/default1.aspx
2. Login as an "author"; then click on "submit paper". - If you don't have an Elsevier login or have forgotten it then click on their "home" link where you will find instructions on how to get one as a new user or a reminder for users already registered.
3. Click on "submit new manuscript" and, in the drop-down "Article type" list, you need to choose ‘VSI: AASLE 2021’. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS OTHERWISE YOUR SUBMISSION WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR A NORMAL ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL. The conference issue submission window is available until 31st January 2022.
4. Submissions to the special issue are free of charge.
5. You will need to enter a title, upload a cover letter, an abstract and the manuscript and, if necessary, any other files - but the system is usually happy for you to include figures and tables in the text. Do not be overly concerned over formatting and style.
6. The system will then compile all of these into a pdf for submission.
7. You should check carefully that your submission has been compiled correctly.
8. You are done. (Throughout the process there is a visible link to a ‘guide for authors’ if you get stuck.)
