"MLO will galvanize innovative scholarship and may indeed change the course of publishing."
Tom Conley, Abbott Lawrence Lowell Professor of Romance Languages & Literature, Harvard University
"MLO is one of the most important initiatives for modern language research in the past decades. It will transform the nature of publishing, explicitly encouraging interdisciplinarity, ensuring that high-quality and original work is published in a timely way, and significantly enlarging and democratising both the creation and the readership of modern language research." Professor Michael Worton, author of the HEFCE Review of Modern Foreign Languages Provision in Higher Education in England
