Types of articles

The default review policy for LAB is double blind review. All author names, affiliations and other references to the authors' identity must be removed from the manuscript.

General research articles: 8,000-10,000 word articles (including tables, figures, and references) that present original empirical research pertinent to the study of cognitive-linguistic bilingualism.

Birdseye article: 8,000-10,000 word articles that present authoritative overviews, narrative syntheses, or meta-analyses of a relevant topic.

Squibs and Research Reports: These small articles should not exceed 5,000 words (including tables, figures, and references) and should present research on ongoing theoretical projects or subsets of data sets making significant contributions that are time sensitive. Accelerated review will be conducted.

Epistemological articles: These articles on topics of general epistemological interest in the sub-disciplines that contribute research to the journal will be between 8,000 and 12,000 words and will be by invitation only.

Special issue: Annually, one special issue will be published on a topic of current interest within the remit of the journal. Proposals for guest editing this issue should be sent to the editors and not exceed 3 pages. On top of information on how the SI relates to the remit of LAB, the proposal should outline the scope and the content of the SI, give a list of potential contributors, and provide information on how a Call for Papers will be disseminated.

All manuscripts need to conform to the APA7 guidelines and to the LAB style sheet, or they will be returned to the authors. Please consult the style sheet and the guidelines section for more information.

Manuscripts should be submitted through the journal’s online submission and manuscript tracking site.

All inquiries should be directed towards the editors by e-mailing the journal at editoriallabjournal.org
