CALL FOR
PAPERS
Participating
in Academic Publishing:
Consequences
of Linguistic Policies and Practices
Language Policy journal is planning a thematic issue on
how policies at local, national, and transnational levels are enacting and
enforcing the high status of English academic publishing and the impact of such
policies on scholars and students, research and teaching, and institutional
practices in different geographical contexts. English is often viewed as the lingua franca of scholarly publishing in many
disciplines, particularly in the sciences and social sciences. The rise of
English as the presumed global medium of scholarly publication has resulted in
both obvious and less obvious consequences for individual scholars and for the
enterprise of knowledge production. We invite empirical and theoretical papers
that examine the effects and enactments of these policies and explore the
consequences for knowledge making globally.
Deadline for abstracts: April 15,
2011
For consideration for this issue, please send an abstract of up to 300
words to Mary Jane Curry ([log in to unmask]), who will co-edit the
issue with Theresa Lillis. For empirical papers, the abstract should identify
the geolinguistic context of the research, the research question/focus, the
theoretical framing, and a synopsis of findings. For theoretical papers, the abstract should describe the
issue under consideration, the theoretical framing, and the conclusions to be
drawn. If the abstract is accepted, you will be invited to submit a paper due
January 1, 2012, which will undergo normal peer review procedures. The issue is
scheduled for publication in early 2013. Language
Policy is a peer-reviewed journal included in the Institute for
Scientific Information (ISI) database.
