Journal of Language Modelling 0(1)

[Adam Przepiorkowski]

It is our pleasure to announce the publication of the inaugurual issue
of a new open access periodical, the Journal of Language Modelling:

http://jlm.ipipan.waw.pl/  (click on “CURRENT” to see this issue).

Contentwise, this is not a typical JLM issue. It contains two main
sections: EDITORIALS and ARTICLES.  The former, EDITORIALS, consists
of three papers: a note from the managing editor, Stuart Shieber's
position paper on Creative Commons and Stefan Müller's position paper
on Open Access in Linguistics.  This way JLM joins the discussion
about publishing models in science and makes a clear statement in
support of maximal openness.

This issue's ARTICLES section, on the other hand, consists of four
papers by partners of CESAR (http://cesar.nytud.hu/), a European
project which sponsors the launch of the Journal of Language
Modelling.  The table of contents, as well as the current Editorial
Board, are enclosed below.

We hope that the often enthusiastic reaction of our colleagues to the
idea of JLM is shared by a sufficient number of theoretical, formal
and computational linguists to make the current enterprise viable.

Best regards,

Adam Przepiórkowski
(for JLM editors)
