Subject: Journal Language Documentation and Description moved to Aperio UVA Open Access Press

 
The editors of Language Documentation and Description are delighted to
announce that the journal has moved to Aperio, the University of Virginia
Library’s open-access press.

LDD publishes research articles on the theory and practice of language
documentation, language description, sociocultural aspects of language use and
linguistic research, language policy, language revitalization, and related
topics. The journal has a focus on small, minority, and endangered languages.
LDD articles are published under a Creative Commons license, with articles
made freely accessible online once they have gone through production. Support
is provided for linked multimedia.

The move coincides with new editorial leadership. Lise Dobrin and Mark Sicoli,
both of UVA’s Department of Anthropology and Interdepartmental Linguistics
Program, are joining as editors, with Dobrin serving as the new Managing
Editor. 

LDD was founded in 2003 as a print journal published at SOAS in London under
the editorship of Peter Austin. In 2014 the journal moved online to the EL
Publishing platform established by Austin together with colleagues David
Nathan and Julia Sallabank. All the current editors are staying on with the
journal under the new arrangement.

UVA Library established Aperio in order to provide open-access journals led by
UVA faculty with a stable and committed institutional home. It is an ideal
host for LDD, which aims to make the results of documentary linguistic
research freely accessible by all who might benefit, now and in the future.

Thematic and geographical listings of papers published in LDD will continue to
be made available at EL Publishing, especially for LDD’s Language Snapshots
and Language Contexts series. EL Publishing will continue publishing books,
edited collections, and multimedia.
