We guarantee to all ERL Journal’s Authors:
1. NO PUBLICATION FEEĀ
As the papers published in ERL Journal intersect language and education, their Authors contribute to our overall mission. Hence, we welcome such papers and do not require any charges. On the contrary – we respect the work of our Authors (both experienced as well as young researchers) and provide all the assistance they may need from the editors.
2. TECHNICAL SIMPLICITY
We apply the simplest procedure possible:
Step 1: PREVIEW: you send your manuscript by email to journal@educationalroleoflanguage.org or to the editor-in-chief: michal.daszkiewicz@ug.edu.pl or both, to be on the safe side.
Step 2: FEEDBACK: you receive feedback within 48 hours concerning your manuscript’s suitability for a particular volume.
Step 3: SUBMISSION: you submit your paper – again by email as above – using one of our templates, which we have prepared to make your work as smooth as possible.
Step 4: PUBLICATION: following two double-blinded positive reviews and recommended amendments, your paper is published.
The entire procedure is thorough but without any major delay. You can choose the kind of text you publish:
- an empirical or theoretical paper – then please use this PAPER TEMPLATE
- a “non-paper”, that is a review or a report – then please use this REVIEW TEMPLATE or REPORT TEMPLATE
Together with your submission (step 3), please provide us with your declaration of originality and your bio note.
3. ENHANCED VISIBILITY
ALL PAPERS PUBLISHED IN ERL JOURNAL CAN BE SEEN FROM 6 DIFFERENT LENSES:
4. HUMAN APPROACH
We value interpersonal communication and direct contact, rather than computerised systems and impersonal messages. Accordingly, we reply – with signed messages – instantly and are happy to make use of those forms of contact (email, communicators, etc.) that ERL Journal’s Authors find convenient.
Here, we have collected different reasons why our Authors publish with us:
- SUBSTANTIVE reasons: interdisciplinary content published in ENGLISH; room for empirical and practical papers presenting hard data and fresh ideas from both advanced researchers as well as up-and-coming investigators;
- GEOGRAPHICAL reasons: wide readership due to the diversity of authors, reviewers, editorial board members; no bias on the level of countries, educational systems, pedagogical solutions;
- TECHNICAL reasons: quick previews (without the need to log in); publication of valid research without long wating time for feedback or publication itself; direct contact with different members of the editorial board; author-friendly template;
- Ā DEVELOPMENTAL reasons: possibility of special volumes co-edited by people from all around the globe; option of creating a “stream” within any of our eight strands and becoming the journal’s stream representative.
