Relations industrielles/Industrial Relations (RI/IR) is a bilingual quarterly published since 1945 by the Department of Industrial Relations at Laval University (Québec, Canada). It was the world's first academic journal in industrial relations and is the only journal in the field in Canada.

The journal will publish a special issue on Varieties of Capitalism and Patterns of Employment Regulation. The guest editors of this special issue are Professors Michael Barry, Anthony M. Gould and Adrian Wilkinson. Manuscripts should be submit by January 30, 2014. See all the details.

The editorial team at RI/IR is interested in receiving submissions on all aspects of work and employment in either English, French or Spanish. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers roughly 7,000 to 8,000 words in length including abstract and bibliography and to ensure that their papers are ready to be reviewed by their peers. We particularly encourage recent PhD graduates to submit articles based on their doctoral research. Prospective authors must ensure that their submissions are in conformity with RI/IR style guidelines.

RI/IR offers to its readers a book reviews section in which interesting books written by industrial relations specialists are critically examined. Suggestions of books to review are always welcome from our readers as are offers to review current works. If you are interested to contribute to the quality of this section as a reviewer, please look up the books received list and contact our Associate Editor for English Book Reviews Anthony Gould or our Associate Editor for French Book Reviews Martine D'Amours.
