We are excited to announce that Journal of Language and Culture (JLC) is fully open access! This means that all research published in our journal is freely available online to anyone, anywhere, without requiring a subscription fee.

Why did we switch to open access?

  • Promoting wider knowledge dissemination: We believe that sharing valuable research findings without financial barriers will accelerate scientific progress and benefit a broader audience.
  • Enhancing author visibility: Open access increases the reach and impact of your research, attracting more citations and collaboration opportunities.
  • Supporting researchers: We understand the financial pressures researchers face, and eliminating APCs removes a significant barrier to publishing high-quality work.

What does this mean for authors?

  • Publish your research for free: You no longer need to pay any article processing charges to publish in JLC.
  • Retain copyright: You retain the copyright to your work and can share it freely under a Creative Commons license.
  • Reach a wider audience: Your research will be accessible to a global audience of researchers, educators, and the general public.

How can I submit my research?

Our submission process remains the same! Visit our website for guidelines and instructions on how to submit your manuscript for peer review. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and other scholarly content across language and culture.

Join us in promoting open access for all! We believe that by making research freely available, we can advance knowledge and create a more equitable and impactful scientific community.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions!
