Dear colleague,
The editorial board of Language Problems & Language Planning [1] is
pleased to announce that, starting this year, it will accept two new
publication formats.
In addition to traditional Original Research Articles (7,000-9,000
words) and Book Reviews, the journal has introduced two new formats that
may be of interest to you, namely
1 Research notes: Contributions normally between 3,000 and 4,000 words
all inclusive. These can take various forms, such as reports on work in
progress or delineating the first steps of innovative, critical
approaches to existing scholarship; discussions of methods or approaches
that did not yield expected results; more practice-focused analyses of
novel pedagogical approaches to acquisition planning, experiences by
language policy-makers, or proposals for interventions in language
policy and planning.
2 Review articles: Contributions normally between 7,000 and 9,000 words
all inclusive. These usually summarise and synthesise existing published
research on a specific topic to provide an overview of the current state
of knowledge, focusing on recent publications in the field (e.g, books
dealing with similar topics). Unlike a research article, it does not
present new experimental data but provides a critical evaluation of
previously published studies to identify trends, gaps, and areas for
future research. Unlike a book review, they do not focus on one book
only.
Kind regards,
Michele Gazzola, Editor-in-Chief, Language Problems & Language Planning
