Interpreting serves as a medium for research and debate on all aspects of interpreting, in its various modes, modalities (spoken and signed) and settings (conferences, media, courtroom, healthcare and others). Striving to promote our understanding of the socio-cultural, cognitive and linguistic dimensions of interpreting as an activity and process, the journal covers theoretical and methodological concerns, explores the history and professional ecology of interpreting and its role in society, and addresses current issues in professional practice and training.

Interpreting encourages cross-disciplinary inquiry from such fields as anthropology, cognitive science, cultural studies, discourse analysis, language planning, linguistics, neurolinguistics, psychology and sociology, as well as translation studies.

Interpreting publishes original articles, reports, discussions and book reviews.

    Guidelines

    Stylesheet

    1. PAPER size should be A4, with standard (2.5 cm or 1 inch) margin settings.
    2. The preferred TYPEFACE is Times New Roman 12 point.
    3. SPACING should be 1.5 throughout (including references, notes, citations, tables, figures, and appendices).
    4. Papers should be reasonably divided into (numbered) sections and, if necessary, sub-sections.
    5. SPELLING should be British English or American English and should be consistent throughout the paper.
    6. EMPHASIS should be marked in italics, not bold.
    7. FOREIGN WORDS in the text should be in italics.
    8. QUOTATIONS in the main text should appear in quotation marks with the appropriate reference to the source and the page number. Quotations longer than 40 words should be put in a freestanding block of text, indented left, without quotation marks and with the appropriate reference to the source and the page number.
    9. TABLES and FIGURES should be integrated and placed where they are supposed to appear in the article. Interpreting is printed in monochrome, therefore all figures and tables must be clearly visible in black and white. TABLES should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and provided with a caption above the table. FIGURES should also be numbered consecutively and provided with a caption underneath. Tables and figures should be referred to by number in the main text, e.g., “in Table 1” or  “(see Figure 2)”.
    10. EXAMPLES should be numbered with Arabic numerals and referred to as such in the text. Examples in languages other than English should include an English translation.
    11. NOTES should be kept to an absolute minimum. Any notes will appear as footnotes and should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Note numbers in the text should follow any punctuation mark except a dash.
    12. APPENDICES should follow the “References” section.
    13. FUNDING INFORMATION should be provided if funding was received through a grant for the research that is discussed in the article, including funder name and grant number, in a separate section called "Funding information" before (an Acknowledgment section and) the References.
    14. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (other than funding information, see above) should be added in a separate, unnumbered section entitled "Acknowledgments", placed before the References.

    References

    Interpreting uses the author-date referencing style for in-text citations. Examples: Setton and Guo (2009) show...; as found in Roy (2000a, 2000b); in several publications (e.g. Morris 2008; Roberts 1997; Wadensjö et al. 2007). When indicating page numbers, a colon followed by a space separates the year from the page number(s). Examples: (Gile 2009: 5; Roy 2000a: 15-16; Setton & Guo 2009: 212).

    The REFERENCES section should list all (and only) references cited in the main text. References should be listed first alphabetically and then chronologically. It is essential that the references be formatted to the specifications given in these guidelines.

    Minhua Liu (minhualiu at hkbu.edu.hk)

    Contributions must be in English. If not written by a native user of English, the text should be checked by a native speaker with good academic writing skills.

    Research articles should range between 6,000 and 9,000 words in length.

    Manuscripts should be prepared in line with the journal's stylesheet.

    Manuscripts should be submitted electronically in WORD as well as in PDF.

    The first page of a manuscript should contain the title of the article; the name, affiliation, mail and e-mail address of each author; an abstract (150-200 words in a single paragraph without citations) briefly presenting the aims, methods, main findings and conclusions of the study; up to five key words; and a biosketch (a single paragraph of up to 80 words) for each author. To allow for double-blind peer reviewing, the remainder of the manuscript should not contain any identifying information.

    Procedure

    Papers will be vetted by the editors and, if in line with the journal’s standards, aims and scope, will undergo a double-blind peer-review procedure. The two referees are usually given six to eight weeks to give their assessment, so that the time from submission to decision is normally within 90 days.

    Comments and suggestions for revisions, where required, will be sent to the author, who will then submit the revised version, again as a WORD and a PDF document.

    In preparing their revised version, authors must adhere as strictly as possible to the guidelines below and check their manuscripts very carefully in order to avoid delays and extra costs at the proof stage. Authors may want to refer to previous issues of the journal for guidance and consult the sample issue made available by the publisher on the website.

    The editors will provide the author with a copyright assignment form to be signed and returned to the publisher.

    The author will receive page proofs for final correction by email in PDF format.
