The Journal of Industrial Relations (JIR) is one of the oldest and most highly regarded academic journals in industrial relations around the world. It is the pre-eminent journal of industrial, employment and workplace relations in Australia and has provided an authoritative record of developments in industrial relations for 50 years.

The JIR is an ISI-ranked, peer reviewed journal that takes a broad interdisciplinary approach to the subject of the world of work. It welcomes contributions which examine the way individuals, groups, organizations and institutions shape the employment relationship. The JIR adheres to a rigorous double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties.

The Journal takes the view that comprehensive understanding of industrial relations must take into account economic, political and social influences on the power of capital and labour, and the interactions between employers, workers, their collective organizations and the state.

The Journal brings together representatives of management, the trade unions, the government services and the professions, as well as specialists in the various academic disciplines concerned with industrial relations. The editors are appointed by the Society but exercise independent academic judgement concerning the content of the journal, with the assistance of an editorial board.
