2. Language Learning
A journal of Research in Language Studies
Full Anonymising. In the body of the manuscript, replace all citations and
references which contain all authors' and coauthors' names and the
publication year by writing: Author (xxxx) or (Author, xxxx). In the reference
list, ensure that the entire citation is anonymised (including year, title,
journal, etc.) and that the citation is located at the top of the reference list.
Partial Anonymising. Replace only a portion of selected references by
writing Author (xxxx) or (Author, xxxx) to the extent that authors' anonymity
can be best preserved. In the reference list, keep full citation for the
references that remained intact in the body of the manuscript but anonymise
those references (including year, title, journal, etc.) you chose to omit,
placing them at the top of the reference list.
Referring to Own Work in the Third Person. In many cases, reviewers need
to have access to essential citations in a manuscript, particularly when these
are used to motivate current work. If these citations are based on authors'
and/or coauthors' prior research, anonymising such work might not only be
revealing of authors' identity but might also make it difficult for reviewers to
adequately evaluate manuscripts. In such cases, in the body of the
manuscript, authors should describe their own and their coauthors' relevant
work in the third person, as one normally would refer to other researchers'
work in a published manuscript. In the list of references, provide full citations
for own work, placing those in the appropriate location alphabetically.
Artwork guidelines
Illustrations, pictures and graphs, should be supplied in the highest quality and in an electronic
format that helps us to publish your article in the best way possible. Please follow the
guidelines below to enable us to prepare your artwork for the printed issue as well as the
online version.
Resolution: Rasterized based files (i.e. with .tiff or .jpeg extension) require a resolution
of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). Line art should be supplied with a minimum
resolution of 800 dpi.
Colour: Please note that images supplied in colour will be published in colour online
and black and white in print (unless otherwise arranged). Therefore, it is important that
you supply images that are comprehensible in black and white as well (i.e. by using
colour with a distinctive pattern or dotted lines). The captions should reflect this
by not using words indicating colour.
Dimension: Check that the artworks supplied match or exceed the dimensions of the
journal. Images cannot be scaled up after origination
Fonts: The lettering used in the artwork should not vary too much in size and type
(usually sans serif font as a default).
