Guidelines
The International Journal of Corpus Linguistics is a peer-reviewed journal and referees will assess submissions with regard to originality, significance, academic rigour, and presentation of argument. Manuscripts submitted to the International Journal of Corpus Linguistics should not at the same time be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Full research papers should not exceed 9,000 words (including tables and references). Short papers which introduce new corpora or provide technical descriptions of tools and annotation schemes, should be between 2,000 and 4,000 words in length (including tables and references).
Manuscripts of articles and reviews must be prepared in accordance with the style sheet.
Submission
Manuscripts should be submitted through the journal's online submission and manuscript tracking site. Please upload both a word (.doc) and PDF version of your manuscript.
Please consult the Short Guide to EM for Authors before you submit your paper.
Ethics
John Benjamins journals are committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and to supporting ethical research practices.
Authors and reviewers are kindly requested to read this Ethics Statement.
Please also note our statement on the use of Artificial Intelligence.
Rights and Permissions
Authors must ensure that they have permission to use any third-party material in their contribution; the permission should include perpetual (not time-limited) world-wide distribution in print and electronic format. For more information, consult our Rights & Permissions page.

Open Access
Articles accepted for this journal can be made Open Access through payment of an Article Publication Charge (APC) of EUR 1800 (+ VAT/tax if applicable). To arrange this, please contact openaccessbenjamins.nl as soon as your paper has been accepted for publication. More information can be found on the publisher's Open Access Policy page.
Corresponding authors from institutions with which John Benjamins has a Read & Publish arrangement can publish Open Access without paying a fee. Please consult this list of institutions for up-to-date information on the criteria for articles covered under the agreement. Make sure that the correct author is clearly marked as the corresponding author in the final version that you submit to the journal editor(s) to forward to production, and check carefully in the proofs; once an article is published (also online first, which is the Version of Record) it is no longer possible to make changes to the order of the authors or the designation of the corresponding author.
For information about permission to post a version of your article online or in an institutional repository ('green' open access or self-archiving), please consult the rights information page.
If the article is not (to be made) Open Access, there is no fee for the author to publish in this journal.
