*Now inviting submissions!*<br>
Writing Systems Research (WSR) is an innovative new journal launching in<br>
2009, to be published by Oxford Journals. It is concerned with empirical<br>
approaches to writing systems based on the analysis of written data and<br>
on experiments. It covers a broad range of writing systems from a range<br>
of countries.<br>
<br>
The editors invite research-based contributions from relevant fields<br>
such as applied linguistics, psychology, computing and education.<br>
<br>
Writing Systems Research aims to publish work concerned with any issue<br>
to do with the analysis, use and acquisition of writing systems.<br>
Submissions are welcome from any of the following areas:<br>
1. The linguistic analysis of writing systems at various levels<br>
2. The learning and use of writing systems<br>
3. Neurolinguistics and writing systems<br>
4. The cognitive correlates and consequences of writing systems<br>
5. Writing systems and computer/new media<br>
<br>
WSR does not publish pedagogically oriented papers, papers on writing<br>
and reading in the sense of 'academic writing', or philological or<br>
historical research, unless they are of interest to researchers working<br>
on the analysis, use and acquisition of writing systems. It insists not<br>
only on standards of proof appropriate to psychological research in<br>
terms of size, rigour, etc, but also on descriptions of language<br>
consonant with linguistics.<br>
