Subject: I-LanD Journal - Call for Special Issue Proposals

 I-LanD Journal - Identity, Language and Diversity
International Peer-Reviewed E-Journal

Open Call for Special Issue Proposals
I-LanD Journal - Identity, Language and Diversity n. 1 - 2017

The I-LanD Journal
(http://iniziative-editoriali.it/shop/i-land-journal-identity-language-and-div
ersity/) reflects a commitment to publishing original and high quality
research papers addressing issues of identity, language and diversity in
different discourses from new critical and theoretical perspectives. All
submissions are double blind peer-reviewed. In fulfillment of its mission, the
I-LanD Journal provides an outlet for publication to international
practitioners, with a view to disseminating and enhancing scholarly studies on
the relation between language and ethnic/cultural identity, language and
sexual identity/gender, as well as on forms of language variation derived from
instances of contamination/hybridization of different genres, discursive
practices and text types.

Through this Call for Special Issue the editorial team of the I-LanD Journal
intends to solicit high-quality proposals that will be evaluated in a
competitive procedure.

Proposals for a Special Issue should have a unifying theme and reflect, at an
international level, the work in a particular research area in which future
investigation may be boosted by the publication of a set of excellent papers.
Proposals for a Special Issue should be sent to the two Editors-in-Chief of
the Journal (ilandjournal at unior.it) by December, 20th 2016 and contain:

 - the name and e-mail address for communication of Guest Editors (at least
two); to improve the Journal’s geographical variety and internationalization,
at least one of the Guest Editors’ countries of affiliation should be
different from the others；
 - a working title;
 - a 500-word rationale clearly explaining the scope and significance of the
proposed theme;
 - the name of ten possible reviewers of the single papers who are not
involved in any way in the preparation of the Special Issue.

The special issue is planned for December 2017, so the publication calendar
for Guest Editors is the following:

 - Publication of the call for papers by guest editors: by February 10th 2017
 - Submission of abstracts to guest editors: by March 10th 2017
 - Submission of chapters to guest editors: by August, 25th 2017
 - Submission of proofs to contributors: by the end of October 2017
 - Submission of final manuscript: November 2017

The length of individual papers is usually about 7-8,000 words, excluding
references. The number of papers in a Special Issue is usually between 6 and
8, but could include more if justified.

The selection of the best proposal is the outcome of a collaborative
evaluation by all members of the editorial team according to the following
criteria:

 - suitability of the topic for the I-LanD Journal;
 - overall quality of the proposal: originality and contribution to the field;
 - theoretical background of the rationale and individual papers;
 - methodological adequacy of the individual papers;
 - completeness of the proposal;
 - feasibility of the plan for delivery.

The Editors-in-Chief of the I-LanD Journal, together with a number of Advisory
Board members selected according to the proposed topics, will examine all
proposals and their decision will be communicated to the Guest Editors by
January, 10th 2017. Once a high-quality proposal has been selected from among
those submitted, it will be the responsibility of the Guest Editors to proceed
within the agreed time limit.

We are looking forward to receiving your proposals,
