Russian Language Journal Call for Articles

Thu Apr 5 12:16:47 UTC 2007

Hey, Cami. Thanks for this. I'm wondering if you got a response from 
the Bulgarians when you sent in your soobshchenie. I haven't heard from 
them and I'm wondering if I'm the only one...  Hope all is well. Best,

>Scope.RLJ publishes scholarly articles related to the study and 
teaching of Russian language and culture, as well as comparative and 
interdisciplinary research in Russian language, culture and the 
acquisition of Russian as a second language.  RLJ also publishes 
evaluations of teaching/learning materials and book reviews. All 
articles submitted to RLJ should include adequate documentation, 
providing credit to primary sources and relevance to current research. 
Pedagogical articles reporting on experimental research results and/or 
empirically-based evaluations are also encouraged and invited.

>External Review Process.Journal submissions should be crafted without 
revealing the authors identity in the body of the work or the 
bibliographic references. Each submission which meets the overall 
eligibility criteria for RLJ publication will be reviewed anonymously 
by at least two external evaluators, who make the final determination 
(using specific criteria) as to whether a submission is accepted or 
rejected. 
>
>Recommended Length.The limit on length for each article submission is 
seven thousand words.  Authors interested in submitting articles are 
encouraged to contact the Editor to discuss article length and subject 
matter prior to submission.
>
>Language.  RLJ is a refereed bilingual annual publication. 
Contributions should be written in either English or Russian.
>
>Citations and References. Citations and references should be kept to a 
minimum.  A list of references follows each manuscript, alphabetized by 
the last name of the authors; citations are linked to this list. The 
Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, 2003, provides guidelines on 
bibliographic forms.  In order to assist in the editing process, 
authors should provide all necessary bibliographic information at the 
time of submission. 
>
>Manuscript Preparation. RLJ will accept manuscripts that are neatly 
typed with one-inch margins on all sides, double-spaced (including 
notes, block quotes, and references), and follow the body of the paper. 
 RLJ observes The Chicago Manual of Style and the simplified U.S. 
Library of Congress system of transliteration from Cyrillic, when 
necessary. RLJ recommends that potential contributors consult the SEEJ 
Style Sheet at http://aatseel.org.

>Submission. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the 
editor at the e-mail address rlj at actr.org as an MS Word attachment.  
All manuscripts will be acknowledged; authors are notified within six 
months whether/when their manuscripts will be published. It is the 
authors responsibility to obtain and document permission to include 
copyrighted illustrations in the work. Any illustrations (including 
tables and charts) must be submitted in camera-ready format. If this is 
not possible, the costs involved for any graphics preparation will be 
the authors responsibility. The author will cover the costs associated 
with any requested changes made to submissions already typeset.     
>
>Originality. RLJ considers only original work for publication. In 
submitting an article to RLJ, it is understood that neither the 
manuscript nor any substantially similar version of the work is 
currently being considered or has been published elsewhere. 
>
>Reprints. Two off prints of the published manuscript and one complete 
copy of the RLJ issue in which the work appears is provided to the 
author of articles, notes, and review articles.

>Back Issues. Back issues of Volumes I to LIV (Nos. 1-179) are sold out
