Author Guidelines

The online journal BIOLINGUISTICS is a full-fledged, bona fide academic publication with its own ISSN and thorough review process. However, resources do not allow for hiring editorial staff. We thus request from authors of manuscripts accepted for publication in BIOLINGUISTICS to adhere to the journal's stylesheet as carefully as possible.

Stylesheets/Templates will shortly be made available on the BIOLINGUISTICS website for Microsoft Word and LaTeX. Articles that will appear in publication should be submitted in PDF and either RTF, MS Word or LaTeX. At this point, we cannot accept any other formats.

The initial submission should follow the Submission Preparation Checklist.

Stylesheets, templates, and guidelines for references will be added soon but can be obtained from the editor (editors@biolinguistics.eu).

 

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

  1. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  2. The anonymous submission file is in Portable Document Format (PDF).
  3. All URL addresses in the text (e.g., http://www.biolinguistics.eu) are activated and ready to click.
  4. The document paper size is A4 and the margins are set to "mirror margins": 1.5" outside, 1.25" all else (0.75" for header and footer). The text uses 11-point Palatino and line-spaced as "Exactly 14pt"; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  5. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal. (The stylesheet can be downloaded from here.)
  6. The text, if submitted to a peer-reviewed section (e.g., Articles), has had the authors' names removed. If an author is cited, "Author" and year are used in the bibliography and footnotes, instead of author's name, paper title, etc. The author's name has also been removed from the document's Properties (which in Microsoft Word, for example, is found in the File menu).
