Editorial Policy
 
Scope. RLJ publishes scholarly articles related to the study and teaching of
Russian language and culture, language policy in the Post-Soviet space, 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 author¹s 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 (7,000) 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
<http://aatseel.org/> .
 
Submission. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the editor at
the e-mail address rlj at actr.org
<https://email.americancouncils.org/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx>  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 author¹s 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
author¹s 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.
 
Advertising. Please contact the RLJ editorial office for current information
regarding advertising deadlines, technical requirements, and rates.
