Call for Papers: Modern Languages Open

[Young, Sarah]

CALL FOR PAPERS

In Spring 2014 Liverpool University Press<http://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/>, one of the world's leading publishers in the modern languages, will launch Modern Languages Open (MLO), a peer-reviewed platform for the open access publication of research from across the modern languages to a global audience.

http://www.modernlanguagesopen.org/index.php/mlo


MLO provides:

  *   Interdisciplinarity across the modern languages and engagement with other fields from a modern languages perspective

  *   Open Access under a CC-BY or CC-BY-NC licence

  *   Rigorous peer review pre-publication and interactivity post-publication

  *   Rapid turnaround from submission to publication

  *   Rewards for article reviewers

  *   Flexibility on article length from 3,000-15,000 words

  *   International dissemination under the imprimatur of a university press?

"Although there are some fine open access journals in the Sciences and Social Sciences, MLO will be a first of its kind in its field. This will be a global enterprise in the best sense of that misused and overused word."
Robin Feuer Miller, Edytha Macy Gross Professor of Humanities, Brandeis University


"What researchers want for their scholarship is as broad as possible a readership, and they want it as quickly as possible. They and their readers want peer review as assurance of quality and both also want reader feedback. MLO offers all these advantages as well as an encouraging flexibility about the length of submissions. It is an exciting initiative, and one to be warmly welcomed."
Julian Graffy, Professor Emeritus of Russian Literature and Film, University College London.


"Modern Languages Open offers an imaginative and flexible response to the emerging Open Access agenda. It joins the rigour of peer review with speed of access and interactive functionality in what looks set to be an exciting marriage of tradition and innovation."
David Shepherd, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Library and Information Strategy) and Professor of Cultural Theory, Keele University, former Professor of Russian and director of the Bakhtin Centre, Sheffield University


No article publishing charge!

To mark the launch, there will be an APC waiver for the 10 best papers submitted from early career researchers. Papers will be judged by the MLO Section Editors. The APC waiver is facilitated through the generosity of LUP authors, participating in the LUP Authors Fund<http://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=147:lup-authors-fund-supports-oa&catid=2:archived-news&Itemid=18>, which is match funded by LUP.
