" Work, Employment and Society encourages exploration across the boundaries of industrial sociology, industrial relations, labour economics, applied psychology, and organisational analysis. Work, Employment and Society is where scholars who refuse to fit 100% inside the traditional moulds feel most at home." Jill Rubery, Manchester School of Management, UK

" Work, Employment and Society has become, to my mind, the leading international journal for researchers in economic sociology. It provides the rare combination of a pluralistic approach to research methodology, with a rigorous emphasis on quality. Its articles have set the agenda for many of the key research debates in recent years." Duncan Gallie Nuffield College, Oxford, UK

" Work, Employment and Society is a major forum for the latest sociological research on work. I eagerly await each issue, and always find something of interest." Arne L. Kalleberg, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA

Work, Employment and Society (WES) is a leading international peer-reviewed journal of the British Sociological Association which publishes theoretically informed and original research on the sociology of work.

WES covers all aspects of work, employment and unemployment and their connections with wider social processes and social structures. The journal is sociologically orientated but welcomes contributions from other disciplines which addresses the issues in a way that informs less debated aspects of the journal's remit, such as unpaid labour and the informal economy. The journal adheres to high standards of scholarship but sees no conflict between accessibility and scholarships; submissions must be clear and free from jargon.

After launching a new article format aimed to support and champion doctoral researchers in the sociology of work, BSA journal Work, Employment and Society (WES) has now released a video discussion on the peer review and publication process of PhD Showcase articles. The author of the first PhD Showcase article, Simon Walo, and the article’s handling editor, Donald Hislop, sat down to talk about Walo’s paper and the process he went through to become published.

While WES always aims to be positive and developmental in the review process, the PhD Showcase hopes to promote and celebrate doctoral researchers work while guiding authors through the review process with care and attention. If you are a PhD student, or recently finished your PhD, and would like to submit a PhD Showcase article, please follow the regular submission guidelines as well as the following eligibility criteria:

• Only PhD candidates or recent PhD recipients (within three years of award date) submitting work done during a PhD are eligible. Please note that Master’s work is not eligible.
• Authors must be within three years of their degree award, excluding sick, parental or bereavement leave.
• Papers may be co-authored but the first and corresponding author must be the eligible PhD candidate/recipient.

How to publish in this journal

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Evolution of the number of published documents. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable documents.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.

Ratio of a journal's items, grouped in three years windows, that have been cited at least once vs. those not cited during the following year.

News from the Columbia Climate School

Sustainable Development Program Hosts Annual Alumni Career Conversations Panel

Lylia Saurel

Columbia Climate School

The Undergraduate Sustainable Development Program (SDEV) recently hosted its annual Alumni Career Conversations panel. Open to any and all undergraduate and graduate students interested in sustainable development career paths, the event facilitated exposure to various sectors and projects in the sustainability field and provided attendees with valuable insights.

The panel was composed of three alumni from SDEV: Chelsea Jean-Michel (CC ’19), Autumn Moore (CC ’22), Lauren Ritchie (CC ’22), with Hannah Friedman (CC ’19, SPS ’21) serving as moderator.

Jean-Michel, an associate on the wind team at BloombergNEF , specializes in strategic research covering global commodity markets and technologies driving the transition to a low-carbon economy. She manages a subscription-based platform and synthesizes trends within the wind industry, drawing on her previous experience as an energy, sustainability and infrastructure consultant.

Moore, an associate in climate data and technology at KPMG US , supports clients in enhancing their data and technology to achieve their environmental goals.

Ritchie is the founder of the Eco Justice Project , a digital platform dedicated to sharing the stories of underrepresented communities and promoting intersectional climate advocacy. She also co-hosts the society and pop-culture-centered podcast, Black Girl Blueprint , amplifying the perspectives of Gen-Z Black women. Ritchie has worked as a future rising senior fellow with Girl Rising , where she produced a short film.

Friedman is the founding principal of newly launched Planeteer Capital , a climate venture capital fund, where she provides strategic guidance to executives as they scale up their climate projects. Before this, she spent around four years investing in the circular economy at Closed Loop Partners, a multi-asset class investment firm.

The panel aimed to equip current students interested in sustainability with practical tools and information to build their professional portfolios and navigate job searches effectively. Panelists shared insights into how the skills acquired from the program have transferred into their work.

“The two most important skills I have developed during my time with the SDEV program were to present research effectively and learn how to talk about climate with different audiences,” Jean-Michel said.

Panelists also talked about the importance of extracurricular activities and both formal and informal networking events in shaping their career trajectories. They encouraged participants to engage in activities related to sustainable development, as well as more creative activities, such as soccer, acting and study abroad experiences, to cultivate transferable skills and a unique profile.

“I studied abroad in Iceland to learn more about renewable energy economics, and this experience greatly helped me become comfortable with public speaking,” Jean-Michel said.

After an overview of the latest trends in their respective industries and what a day in their lives might look like, the alumni shifted the discussion to the role of internships for professional and personal development. They shared recommendations on how to best approach these opportunities.

“My internship experiences, although not related to the work I currently do, were very useful in teaching me how to be articulate about a topic, which is very important in my role as a client-based consultant,” Moore said.

With its diverse panel and insightful discussions, the Alumni Career Conversations panel provided invaluable guidance and inspiration for students navigating the complex landscape of sustainable development careers. Sylvia Montijo , the SDEV program manager, expressed pride in the accomplishments of the alumni, highlighting the importance of inclusion in the field of sustainability.

“This annual event serves as a special platform to highlight the exceptional achievements of our alumni. The field of sustainability is incredibly diverse, evident in the many ways our panelists engage with this work. It’s crucial for the SDEV program to persist in centering these diverse voices and inclusive perspectives,” said Montijo.

Following structured discussions, participants had the opportunity to engage in open conversations with alumni, delving deeper into their transition from the SDEV program to their current roles. This segment fostered a safe and candid dialogue on the nuances of different careers within the sustainable development sphere.

“The thorn is that there needs to be more investment and funding going to the creative side of climate. The rose is that I feel I can make an impact at various levels, even with kids, and that’s promising for our future,” said Ritchie.
