Call for Papers on Participating in Academic Publishing: Consequences of Linguistic Policies and Practices <br> <br>Language Policy is planning a thematic issue on how policies at local, national, <br>and transnational levels are enacting and enforcing the high status of English <br>
academic publishing and the impact of such policies on scholars and students, <br>research and teaching, and institutional practices in different geographical <br>contexts. English is often viewed as the lingua franca of scholarly publishing in <br>
many disciplines, particularly in the sciences and social sciences. The rise of <br>English as the presumed global medium of scholarly publication has resulted in <br>both obvious and less obvious consequences for individual scholars and for the <br>
enterprise of knowledge production. We invite empirical and theoretical papers <br>that examine the effects and enactments of these policies and explore the <br>consequences for knowledge making globally. <br> <br>Deadline for abstracts: April 15, 2011 <br>
<br>For consideration for this issue, please send an abstract of up to 300 words to <br>Mary Jane Curry (mjcurry<img src="http://linguistlist.org/images/address-marker.gif" align="absbottom"><a href="http://warner.rochester.edu">warner.rochester.edu</a>), who will co-edit the issue with <br>
Theresa Lillis. For empirical papers, the abstract should identify the geolinguistic <br>context of the research, the research question/focus, the theoretical framing, <br>and a synopsis of findings. For theoretical papers, the abstract should describe <br>
the issue under consideration, the theoretical framing, and the conclusions to be <br>drawn. If the abstract is accepted, you will be invited to submit a paper due <br>January 1, 2012, which will undergo normal peer review procedures. The issue is <br>
scheduled for publication in early 2013. Language Policy is a peer-reviewed <br>journal included in the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) database.
