International Peer-Reviewed E-Journal

Open Call for Special Issue Proposals
n.1/2023

The I-LanD Journal
(https://www.loffredoeditore.com/en/magazines/onlinemagazines/iland) 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 February 15, 2023 and contain:
- the name and e-mail address for communication of prospective 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 15 possible reviewers of the individual papers who will not be
directly or indirectly involved in the preparation of the Special Issue.

The Special Issue is planned for December 2023, so the publication calendar
for Guest Editors is the following:
- Publication of the call for papers by guest editors: by March 15, 2023
- Submission of abstracts to guest editors: by April 30, 2023
- Submission of chapters to guest editors: by September 30, 2023
- Submission of proofs to contributors: by the beginning of November 2023
- Submission of final manuscript: by the beginning of December 2023.
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
10, but could include more if justified.

The selection of the best proposal is the outcome of a collaborative
evaluation by all the 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 for a Special Issue and their decision will be communicated to
aspiring Guest Editors by March 1, 2023. 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 timeline and comply with the I-LanD
Journal's editorial policy and ethical statement
(https://www.loffredoeditore.com/images/book/Editorial-policyEthical-Statement
.pdf).

We are looking forward to receiving your proposals,
