Manuscripts should be submitted electronically via Janeway. 

Submitted files should be pdfs generated using one of our templates  (available under Structure of Submissions and Style Sheet). 

To begin your submission, select the Submit button in the header at the top of this page.

You are encouraged to use your ORCiD ID to log in to Janeway, but if you prefer you may create a separate account for the journal. Once a submission has been completed, the submitting author is able to fully track the status of the paper and complete requested revisions via their online profile.

Submitted manuscripts should follow the guidelines stated in Structure of Submissions and Style Sheet under the "For Authors" tab. 

Please add a word count (including footnotes and references) directly below the paper title. The word count should not exceed 15,000 for regular submissions, and it should not exceed 4,000 words for brief submissions, excluding references. Please convert your paper into a single PDF containing all tables and figures. Separate image files will be requested if the submission is accepted for publication. Non-PDF files or separately provided files may be returned prior to review.

All files must be anonymized during the initial submission to respect our double masked peer review process. Please ensure all identifying information has been removed. (See further details here.) Only after editorial acceptance should you add author details to the manuscript files.

However, author names and affiliations for all authors should be fully and accurately entered on the Janeway submission interface at time of submission. They should match exactly what you would put in the paper after acceptance (any necessary changes by time of acceptance should be made after acceptance, before typesetting, as well). Please make sure to precisely specify the name under which you publish and your official department and institution names (e.g., “Department of Linguistics”, not “Ling”). Affiliation details can be given in the language of the institution—i.e., they do not need to be translated to English. 

Submission to publication should take approximately 30 weeks. Articles are published on a rolling basis.
