Interpreting

Manuscripts and all editorial correspondence should be sent electronically to both editors:
Franz Pöchhacker (franz.poechhackerunivie.ac.at)
Minhua Liu (minhualiu1ntu.edu.tw)

Manuscripts may be submitted at any time. There are no fixed deadlines.

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.

Authors are responsible for observing the laws of copyright when quoting or reproducing material.

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.
