ILR Review Conditions of Publication
The ILR Review will not consider any paper under simultaneous review by any other journal or publisher. After a paper is accepted, we require authors to complete and sign a publishing agreement. Authors maintain copyright of their work; however, the Review and its publisher, SAGE Publishing, hold publication rights (see section below on Publisher’s Use of the Contribution). If a manuscript contains data or theory that have appeared in print elsewhere, or have been presented at a conference, we require a footnote on the first page of the manuscript giving the complete citation to the prior publication or conference presentation. Additionally, in your initial cover letter, please alert us to any earlier versions published elsewhere, and be prepared to provide a copy to us, if requested.
ILR Review Data Access Policy
The ILR Review’s data access policy has the goal of improving the transparency and availability of data among scholars in our field. Authors of accepted manuscripts are expected to preserve the data and code used in their analyses and to make the data available to others at reasonable cost from a date six months after the ILR Review publication date and for a period of three years thereafter. A statement to this effect will be included in a footnote on the first page of the published article.
Authors will confirm their agreement with this requirement when they upload their manuscript in the ILR Review’s online system. Those who wish to request an exemption from this requirement should follow the steps listed below. The use of proprietary data sets or those attained via a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), for example, may prompt an exemption request. Failure to honor data requests may jeopardize future publication in the ILR Review.
Waiver Request
The ILR Review may grant a waiver of the data access policy if the data meet these criteria: 1) Data can be obtained through alternative methods, and 2) The authors provide guidance about obtaining the data.
If a waiver is needed, please make the request as part of your cover letter at the time of manuscript submission. The waiver request should include a brief explanation of why the waiver is required (e.g., data must be kept anonymous to protect the subject of the research) and how you plan to meet the criteria. In addition, if alternative methods are available by which other researchers may obtain the data, please explain how the authors will provide guidance about obtaining the data. For example, researchers using data that can be accessed only with prior approval from some provider or authority, such as those using data in the Federal Statistical Research Data Center (FSRDC) network, should indicate that the data can be available by going through the appropriate approval process with that organization.
More generally, The Review encourages authors to post their data in online archives of their choosing.
