2. Editorial Policy

Scope
Journal of Semantics aims to be the premier generalist journal in
semantics. It covers all areas in the study of meaning, and
particularly welcomes submissions using the best available
methodologies in semantics, pragmatics, the syntax/semantics
interface, cross-linguistic semantics, experimental studies of
meaning (processing, acquisition, neurolinguistics), and semantically
informed philosophy of language.

Types of articles
Journal of Semantics welcomes all types of research articles – with
the usual proviso that length must be justified by scientific value.
Besides standard articles, the Journal will welcome ‘squibs’, i.e.
very short empirical or theoretical contributions that make a pointed
argument. In exceptional circumstances, and upon the advice of the
head of the Advisory Board, the Journal will publish ‘featured
articles’, i.e. pieces that we take to make extraordinary
contributions to the field.

Editorial decisions within 10 weeks
Informed by past experience, the Journal has set itself the goal of
making editorial decisions within 10 weeks of submission.

Refereeing
Articles can only be accepted upon the advice of anonymous referees,
who are asked to uphold strict scientific standards.  Authors may
include their names on their manuscripts, but they need not do so. (To
avoid conflicts of interest, any manuscript submitted by one of the
Editors will be handled by the head of the Advisory Board, who will be
responsible for selecting referees and making an editorial decision).

Submissions
All submissions are handled electronically. Manuscripts should be
emailed to the Managing Editor  [managing.editor.js at gmail.com], who
will forward them to one of the Editors. The latter will be
responsible for selecting referees and making an editorial decision.
Receipt of a submission is systematically confirmed.
