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
