Journal of Natural Language Engineering: Call for special issue proposals

The Journal of Natural Language Engineering (JNLE) invites proposals for
special issues on a competitive basis regarding any topics surrounding applied
NLP which have emerged as important recent developments and that have
attracted the attention of a number of researchers or research groups. Topics
could cover a variety of methods, tasks, resources and applications from
Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, Speech and Language
Processing, Text Analytics and related areas but should preferably focus on
the practical implications of operation on a large scale. Contributions to
growing areas such as Deep Learning applications and Digital Humanities are
also welcome.

The proposal for a special issue should include a brief outline of the field
and rationale as to why it is important to launch a special issue on the
particular topic of interest at the current time. It should include a relevant
literature survey (related previous special issues, volumes, workshop and
conference proceedings) and should explain the added value of the proposed
special issue against the background of other relevant or competing
publications and volumes (if applicable).  It is desirable that a rough
estimate of expected submissions to the special issue be provided and
justified. The proposals should also include a tentative Guest Editorial
Board. It is desirable that at least one (preferably two) of the members of
the Guest Editorial Board is on the JNLE Editorial Board. The proposal should
also include a tentative time-scale for the production of the special issue
(the time-scale committed to in the proposal should be adhered to, if the
proposal is accepted) and information about the prospective Guest Editors such
as relevant experience, publications etc. All special issues are required to
offer a survey of the field as its first article which can be written either
by the Guest Editors or by an invited author / authors. The special issues
should consist of around 136 pages.

Calls for special issue proposals may be based on a successful workshop or a
body of work associated with a particular group or section of the community.
In all cases, however, the reviewing process of the accepted papers must be
rigorous and all submissions must be reviewed by at least three members of the
Guest Editorial Board or other suitable reviewers agreed by the JNLE Editors.
In the case of papers previously submitted to workshops, the Guest Editors
will not be able to re-use previous workshop reviews. In addition, the call
for papers of the accepted proposals must be open to all interested parties
and all authors will be given equal treatment; in the case of proposals based
on previous workshops, submissions cannot be limited to workshop participants
only.

Interested editors have the option of preliminary feedback by emailing
expressions of interest accompanied by a brief description of the intended
special issue to the Executive Editor (R.Mitkov at wlv.ac.uk), who will provide a
brief indication of whether the topic is appropriate to Natural Language
Engineering. In the case of initial positive feedback, the prospective Guest
Editors will be asked to submit a proposal for a special issue that will be
reviewed by the Editors of the Journal and by other members of the Journal
Editorial Board.

Time-scale
- Deadline for submission of special issue proposals: 30 April 2022
(proposals to be emailed to R.Mitkov at wlv.ac.uk with a copy to
jnleea at wlv.ac.uk)
- Notification of acceptance/rejection: 31 May 2022
