This is an ongoing call for papers for Register and Context, a journal on LSP, Discourse Analysis and Pragmatics.
Register and Context is seeking submissions of previously unpublished manuscripts on any topic dealing with occupational discourse. For this first issue, we are accepting submissions from a range of linguistic perspectives, both theoretical and applied. We especially welcome both practical and research focused articles. Articles should have a clear focus and be written so that they are accessible to a broad audience of linguists and language professionals, including those individuals who may not be familiar with the particular subject matter addressed in the article.
Articles should report on original research or present an original framework that links previous research, linguistic theory, and current practices. Full-length articles should be no more than 7500 words in length and should include an abstract of no more than 200 words. We encourage articles that take advantage of the electronic format by including hypermedia links to multimedia material both within and outside the article.
Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (currently, the 5th Ed., Website).
Manuscripts should be submitted in either DOC, RTF or ODT format to submit[at]registerandcontext.de. The blind peer reviewing process requires anonymous manuscripts. Avoid any information in the article which could reveal your identity. You should provide your name, address, title of the paper, and a short abstract (no more than 500 words) in your cover email.
We will acknowledge receipt of your submission as soon as it reaches us. If you don't receive any acknowledgment within a week, please re-send your submission.
Review Process
All article manuscripts submitted to Register and Context go through an internal review first which takes 3 - 4 weeks. If the article meets the basic requirements, it is sent out for external double-blind review by members of our editorial board. This second process takes 1-2 months. Following the external review, the authors are sent copies of the external reviewers' comments and are notified as to the decision (accept as is, accept pending changes, revise and resubmit, or reject).
Copyright
The submission of an article to Register and Context implies that neither the article nor any of its parts is copyrighted or currently under review for any journal, edited collection, or conference proceedings. If the article, any portion of it, or any other version of it, has appeared, or is scheduled to appear in another publication of any kind, the details of such publication must be made known to the editors at the time of submission. By submitting a paper you agree for it to be licensed under the Digital Peer Publishing license and published by Register and Context under these terms.
