JLC INFORMATION  : Change of state

The third VARIA volume of the Journal of Language Contact is herewith
published and the third THEMA issue shall appear by end of 2010. The
already published volumes have been well recognized in the academic
field of Language Contact studies and the international academic
affiliations of the contributors, the thematic richness of the
articles and the scientific quality may be interpreted as a
confirmation of the journals success. JLC is in the fore in its domain
on an international level and has received international
attention. However, despite its recognition it received not enough
publishing support.

The attention of publishing house Brill in Leiden has, as a
consequence of its international recognition, been attracted to the
development of the journal. BRILL has contacted the editors and
proposed to continue the publication and diffusion of the Journal of
Language Contact one year ago. After examination of the offer and one
year of negotiations the editors have finally accepted because the
engagement and experience of BRILL will guarantee the continuity of
the journal and provide the necessary publishing support, hosting and
promotion—while the scientific independence will be left
untouched. Although the future volumes of the journal will no longer
be open access, a moderate pricing of has been agreed on.

This will change:

1) One volume with two issues of JLC will appear per year as before. A
   distinction with the current practice is that most issues will be
   regular issues, but occasionally a thematic issue will be published
   which will be announced in advance. The number of pages will remain
   350 pp. per year.

2) Starting from volume 4, JLC will be published online and in print,
   distributed under the terms of subscription of BRILL.

3) The mode of publication of the actual issues VARIA 3 and THEMA 3
   (volume 3) is and will be still open access. All articles can be
   downloaded without charge as before.

4) All issues and articles up to volume 3 will remain open access and
   can be downloaded without charge as before. They will be however
   accessible under the new future domain and are hosted then on the
   new website of the journal at BRILL.
