Call for Papers on Participating in Academic Publishing: Consequences  
of Linguistic Policies and Practices

Language Policy is planning a thematic issue on how policies at local,  
national, and transnational levels are enacting and enforcing the high  
status of English academic publishing and the impact of such policies  
on scholars and students, research and teaching, and institutional  
practices in different geographical contexts. English is often viewed  
as the lingua franca of scholarly publishing in many disciplines,  
particularly in the sciences and social sciences. The rise of English  
as the presumed global medium of scholarly publication has resulted in  
both obvious and less obvious consequences for individual scholars and  
for the enterprise of knowledge production. We invite empirical and  
theoretical papers that examine the effects and enactments of these  
policies and explore the consequences for knowledge making globally.

Deadline for abstracts: April 15, 2011

For consideration for this issue, please send an abstract of up to 300  
words to Mary Jane Curry (mjcurry at warner.rochester.edu), who will co- 
edit the issue with Theresa Lillis. For empirical papers, the abstract  
should identify the geolinguistic context of the research, the  
research question/focus, the theoretical framing, and a synopsis of  
findings. For theoretical papers, the abstract should describe the  
issue under consideration, the theoretical framing, and the  
conclusions to be drawn. If the abstract is accepted, you will be  
invited to submit a paper due January 1, 2012, which will undergo  
normal peer review procedures. The issue is scheduled for publication  
in early 2013. Language Policy is a peer-reviewed journal included in  
the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) database. For more  
information on the journal, please see: http://www.springer.com/linguistics/applied+linguistics/journal/10993
