International Peer-Reviewed E-Journal

Open Call for Special Issue Proposals
I-LanD Journal – Identity, Language and Diversity n.1/2020

The I-LanD Journal
(https://www.loffredoeditore.com/en/magazines/onlinemagazines/i-land) reflects
a commitment to publishing original and high quality research papers
addressing issues of identity, language and diversity in different discourses
from new critical and theoretical perspectives. All submissions are double
blind peer-reviewed. In fulfillment of its mission, the I-LanD Journal
provides an outlet for publication to international practitioners, with a view
to disseminating and enhancing scholarly studies on the relation between
language and ethnic/cultural identity, language and sexual identity/gender, as
well as on forms of language variation derived from instances of
contamination/hybridization of different genres, discursive practices and text
types.

Through this Call for Special Issue the editorial team of the I-LanD Journal
intends to solicit high-quality proposals that will be evaluated in a
competitive procedure.

Proposals for a Special Issue should have a unifying theme and reflect, at an
international level, the work in a particular research area in which future
investigation may be boosted by the publication of a set of excellent papers.
Proposals for a Special Issue should be sent to the two Editors-in-Chief of
the Journal (ilandjournal at unior.it) by July 28, 2019 and contain: 
- the name and e-mail address for communication of prospective Guest Editors
(at least two). To improve the Journal's geographical variety and
internationalization, at least one of the Guest Editors' countries of
affiliation should be different from the others;
- a working title;
- a 500 word rationale clearly explaining the scope and significance of the
proposed theme;
- the name of ten possible reviewers of the individual papers who will not be
directly or indirectly involved in the preparation of the Special Issue.

The Special Issue is planned for June 2020, so the publication calendar for
Guest Editors is the following:
- Publication of the call for papers by guest editors: by September 2, 2019;
- Submission of abstracts to guest editors: by November 10, 2019;
- Submission of chapters to guest editors: by February 29, 2020;
- Submission of proofs to contributors: by the end of March 2020;
- Submission of final manuscript: May 2020.

The length of individual papers is usually about 7-8,000 words, excluding
references. The number of papers in a Special Issue is usually between 5 and
8, but could include more if justified.

The selection of the best proposal is the outcome of a collaborative
evaluation by all the members of the editorial team according to the following
criteria:
- suitability of the topic for the I-LanD Journal;
- overall quality of the proposal: originality and contribution to the field;
- theoretical background of the rationale and individual papers;
- methodological adequacy of the individual papers;
- completeness of the proposal;
- feasibility of the plan for delivery.

The Editors-in-Chief of the I-LanD Journal, together with a number of Advisory
Board members selected according to the proposed topics, will examine all
proposals for a Special Issue and their decision will be communicated to one
of the two aspiring Guest Editors by August 10, 2019. Once a high-quality
proposal has been selected from among those submitted, it will be the
responsibility of the Guest Editors to proceed within the agreed timeline and
comply with the I-LanD Journal's editorial policy and ethical statement
(https://www.loffredoeditore.com/images/book/Editorial-policyEthical-Statement
.pdf).

We are looking forward to receiving your proposals,
