Information For Authors

We seek empirical research and literary reviews within the range of research in language and literature teaching methods. We will accept submissions in Catalan, Spanish, French and English. Anyone interested in coordinating a monograph should first submit a proposal. Anyone interested in interviewing a well-known expert must contact the journal first at revista.jtl3@uab.cat to receive the protocol of carrying out interviews.

All manuscripts must conform strictly to the formatting guidelines and be free of spelling and grammatical errors. When the manuscripts are first received, the Editorial Board will check them to see if they conform to all the requirements specified below. If they do, they will be distributed and blind-reviewed by three reviewers. If not, they will be returned to the authors without being reviewed.

Authors (except for invited authors) should be graduate students (MA or Phd) or post-doctoral researchers (maximum five years following their thesis defence or dissertation) and will be asked to attest to this when signing the copyright agreement. They may also submit a review of recent, pertinent books about the teaching and learning of language. Anyone interested in coordinating a monograph should first submit a proposal. The proposal should include a list of intended authors, with a short biodata of each and the name of a book relevant to the monograph theme for the criticisms and review section to be included. The monograph coordinator must match the profile of the authors (a student or post-doctoral researcher).

PhD supervisors can be recognised in acknowledgements but not as co-authors.

Manuscripts should not have been published previously (this does not include an oral defence of research). Copyright clearance for reproduction of any figures, diagrams or charts from published works is the sole responsibility of the author.

By submitting the contribution, the author(s) confirm that they are the sole author(s) of the contribution, which is original work and warrant to the best of their knowledge that the contribution does not contain anything which is illegal, or which infringes on any copyright or other rights. Upon submittal authors must confirm that the text is compliant with our ethics declaration.

Submissions to the journal are reviewed by the international scientific committee and invited reviewers, using a critical process of blind peer review.
