Canvas · draft to published versionDesign, not a record
Research and publications: an edition from outline to correctionAn outline is agreed; chapters are drafted; every value is traced in the data check; peer reviewers with declared conflicts review; the editor decides; the edition is released with an identifier and corrected only by new versions. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

01In brief

The short answer.

Future of Work and Skills publications are the platform's reviewed, citable outputs, such as future-of-work briefs, skills transition research and learning pathways. Each carries its authors, date, method, evidence labels and editorial status, and a correction creates a new version with its history. Contributions to series such as Foresight Outlook and Evidence Brief also appear in Nexus Reports.

03What is published

Every output shows its status.

  • Each publication carries its authors, date, method, evidence labels and editorial status.
  • Corrections create a new version with its history.
  • Series contributions also appear in Nexus Reports; see Publish in Nexus Reports.
04Output types

What work and skills publications look like.

Publications are exposure notes and evidence briefs for ministries and social partners, each stating taxonomy and method and distinguishing exposure from job loss. They draw on robotics and AI and the social protection topic. Notes state which countries their task data come from and how far findings transfer.

Publications distinguish exposure from job loss and state the taxonomy and method used.

  • Exposure notes.
  • Evidence briefs.

Peer reviewEvaluation of a work by independent experts in the field before publication.
CorrectionA published notice that amends an error in a work whose main findings stand.
Evidence labelA tag on an assertion naming the kind of evidence behind it, such as observed, officially reported or modelled.
