Linguistics in Amsterdam

Aims & Scope

Linguistics in Amsterdam is an open-access platform to present new ideas and work in progress to fellow researchers affiliated with the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication (ACLC). Papers can take the form of a complete manuscript but also of a conference paper, discussion paper, report of an experiment, etc. Authors retain all copyrights to their work. We therefore invite papers from ACLC members; external collaborators may be co-authors. ACLC members may also propose special issues, for example to publish conference proceedings. In that case, contributions from external collaborators may be also be accepted. We especially encourage PhD students to draw on this platform to publish intermediate results and gain experience in writing and publishing academic papers. Contributors may assume from their audience a fair amount of knowledge of the issues addressed in their papers. If peers from the relevant research group are familiar with a particular linguistic model, then authors do not have to go into detail in this respect. In this way, we hope to have concise contributions that delve right into the issues at hand. The papers are non-anonymously peer-reviewed by fellow members of the ACLC or, in exceptional cases, outside members. Reviewers evaluate the papers on the originality, consistency and style. Note that we ask non-native English speakers to have their contributions checked by a native speaker before submitting them to us. Under the ‘guidelines’ section of this website, authors can find instructions on how to submit papers. It is our aim to reflect the diverse linguistic interests of the ACLC research groups ( www.aclc.uva.nl ). We hope that this platform will make visible some of the state-of-the-art research that is being carried out within the ACLC, and further inspire cooperation between researchers.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
