Call for Papers on Participating in Academic Publishing: Consequences of
Linguistic Policies and Practices

 

Language Policy is planning a thematic issue on how policies at local,
national, and transnational levels are enacting and enforcing the high
status of English academic publishing and the impact of such policies on
scholars and students, research and teaching, and institutional
practices in different geographical contexts. English is often viewed as
the lingua franca of scholarly publishing in many disciplines,
particularly in the sciences and social sciences. The rise of English as
the presumed global medium of scholarly publication has resulted in both
obvious and less obvious consequences for individual scholars and for
the enterprise of knowledge production. We invite empirical and
theoretical papers that examine the effects and enactments of these
policies and explore the consequences for knowledge making globally.

 

Deadline for abstracts: April 15, 2011

 

For consideration for this issue, please send an abstract of up to 300
words to Mary Jane Curry (mjcurry at warner.rochester.edu), who will
co-edit the issue with Theresa Lillis. For empirical papers, the
abstract should identify the geolinguistic context of the research, the
research question/focus, the theoretical framing, and a synopsis of
findings. For theoretical papers, the abstract should describe the issue
under consideration, the theoretical framing, and the conclusions to be
drawn. If the abstract is accepted, you will be invited to submit a
paper due January 1, 2012, which will undergo normal peer review
procedures. The issue is scheduled for publication in early 2013.
Language Policy is a peer-reviewed journal included in the Institute for
Scientific Information (ISI) database.
