Instructions for Authors

The publication of a manuscript in a peer-reviewed work is expected to follow standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, editors, and reviewers. Authors, editors, and reviewers should thoroughly acquaint themselves with Brill’s publication ethics, which may be downloaded here: https://brill.com/page/ethics/publication-ethics-cope-compliance.

Online Submission
Applied Linguistics Journal ( ALJ) uses online submission only. Authors should submit their manuscript online by email to linguistics.journal@mbzuh.ac.ae.

Double-blinded Peer Review
ALJ uses a double-blind peer review system, which means that manuscript author(s) do not know who the reviewers are, and that reviewers do not know the names of the author(s). When you submit your article, please attach a separate title page that includes the full title of the manuscript, the names and complete contact details of all authors, the abstract, keywords, and any acknowledgement texts. Authors also have to send along their full affiliation: department, university, city, country. All other files (manuscript, figures, tables, etc.) should not contain any information concerning author names, institutions, etc. The names of these files and the document properties should also be anonymized.

File Format
Contributions should be submitted as both a Word document and a Portable Document Format (PDF).

Contact Address
For any questions or problems relating to your manuscript please contact: ALJ’s e-mail address: linguistics.journal@mbzuh.ac.ae.

Affiliation and Acknowledgements
After reviewers’ approval, the following information should be added underneath the article title: Author’s name, author’s full affiliation accompanied by the city and country of the institution in addition to the author’s e-mail address (e.g., Bilal Orfali, Department of Arabic and Near Eastern Languages, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon, bo00@aub.edu.lb). If an author wishes to list acknowledgements, they should be placed in the first footnote appended to the author’s name. This is also the appropriate place for personal words of faith and praise, opening religious formulae and the like, with which authors enhance their work.

File Format
Both Windows and Mac users are requested to save the file with the extension: .doc or .rtf.

Major Criteria for Acceptance of Articles
When composing their texts, authors are requested to take into account the following major criteria for acceptance:
Theory
Literature Review
Contribution/Novelty
Plagiarism & Potential Legal Issues
Audience/Scope
Structure/Coherence

Submission Requirements

Language
Contributions should be written in English or Arabic. If it is necessary to include text in another language, please follow the spelling and capitalization rules for those languages.

Unicode and Non-Roman Fonts
In view of a uniform encoding of non-Latin scripts and diacritics used for Roman transliteration of Arabic, the use of fonts conforming to the Unicode standard is required. For the handling of special scripts and transliteration, we recommend following the rules given below, and the information provided on the Brill website at: https://brill.com/fileasset/downloads_static/static_fonts_latinipaunicodelist.pdf.
If you have need of special diacritics then Brill suggests the Brill font (https://brill.com/about/brill-fonts). For all diacritics that cannot be displayed with regular fonts or the Brill, please send along the font with the article's electronic version. Please use a Unicode compliant font. For any article using special fonts, send along a PDF file with the fonts embedded.
In case the author uses specific non-standard fonts for the diacritics of Arabic or Persian letters, notes about these fonts must be submitted.

Length
Contributions should not exceed 10,000 words, inclusive of in-text citations and notes, but exclusive of a bibliography. Please include a word count with your contribution.

Transliteration
Transliterations of foreign words should follow accepted formats. For the transliteration of Arabic and Persian script, we follow the system of the Third Edition of Brill’s Encyclopaedia of Islam, as follows:

Consonants
ء ʾ ب b پ p ت t ث th ج j چ ch ح ḥ خ kh د d ذ dh ر r ز z ژ zh س s ش sh ص ṣ ض ḍ ط ṭ ظ ẓ ع ʿ غ gh ف f ق q ک k گ g y ي w و h هـ n ن m م l ل

Hamza
The ʾ ( hamza) should not be used when it appears in an initial position in a word: al-akhdh not al-ʾakhdh, Amīr not ʾAmīr.

Definite Article
ا ل al- (article), no elision takes place for sun-letters: al-shams, al-kitāb.
In case of prepositions preceding definite nouns and pronouns, the a is dropped: fī l-madīna, bi-l-ʿaql, li-lṣāḥib.

Manuscript Structure

The text must be formatted with 1.5-inch margins and be double-spaced. For all other matters of style such as capitalization and the use of italics, the Chicago Manual of Style (available online at: https://chicagomanualofstyle.org/contents.html) should be used as a guide.

Abstract and Keywords
All submissions should be accompanied by concise abstracts (max. 150 words) in both English and Arabic. At least five keywords should be included after the abstract text in both Arabic and English.

Punctuation Marks
All punctuation marks (, : ; .) placed next to quotation marks, should generally be included within the quotation marks (e.g. “right,” but not “false”, etc.). Moreover, if a footnote number is placed next to a punctuation mark, it should be placed after the punctuation mark (;1 .2) unless the context exigently requires it to be arranged differently.

Indentation
Authors should use tabs for the indentation of paragraphs.

Headings
Obvious structures in the article should be clearly outlined with the use of headings.
1 First Level Headings Are Bold
1.1 Second Level Headings Are Bold Italic
1.1.2 Third Level Headings Are Roman

Footnotes
Citations or references are provided in footnotes, as indicated before and illustrated below. ALJ does not make use of endnotes.

References
Citations in the text
Citations or references have to be provided in footnotes in accordance with the Chicago Manual of Style (see chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html).

Bibliography
Please provide an alphabetical list of all sources cited in your contribution in the form of a bibliography. The style to be followed is that of The Chicago Manual of Style. This bibliography will not contribute to your word count. For more details and many more examples, see of The Chicago Manual of Style, chapter 14 .

Figures
Diagrams, charts, maps, plans, and other line drawings that are not embedded into the text files, as well as photographs must be submitted as high-resolution image files (TIFF format). If excessive file size forbids the uploading of images by e-mail, these may be forwarded on CD-ROM while being replaced by low-resolution link copies at the appropriate places in the article.
They should be graphic files that are at least 300 dpi for pictures and at least 600 dpi for line drawing.

Book Reviews

In addition to the Articles, ALJ regularly publishes reviews of major new contributions to the field of Linguistics. In general, the Editorial Board of ALJ will invite experts to write these reviews. However, it also welcomes the submission of book reviews by individual authors at their own initiative. The combined purpose of the typical book review for ALJ is to summarize and, at the same time, critically evaluate the work discussed. With a space limit between 800 and 2000 words, there will always be the need to strike a balance between providing information about the work to be reviewed on the one hand, and leaving enough space for the reviewer’s own evaluation on the other hand. Besides these two elements, a third aspect is to be covered in the type of “extended review” required for ALJ, namely providing a critical commentary on the relevance of the work under review to (one or more of) the fields of Linguistics. Therefore, book reviews for ALJ should cover the following three basic elements:
1 Summary
2 Critical Evaluation
3 Relevance for the field of Linguistics

Review Headings
Information given in the headings of reviews takes the following form in order and punctuation:
• Rashed, Roshdi (ed.), Lexique historique de la langue scientific arabe, Liv + 971pp. Arabic Science and Culture 1. Hidesheim: Georg-Olms-Verlag, 2017. €98. Hardcover. ISBN 9783-48715528-9.
• Ansari, Hassan, L’imamat et l’occultation selon l’imamisme: Étude bibliographique et histoire des textes, xx + 310pp + 268pp (Annexe en Arabe). Islamic History and Civilization: Studies and Text 134. Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2017. $245. Hardback. ISBN 978-90-04-23228-0.

Publication

Proofs
Upon acceptance, a PDF of the article proofs will be sent to the author by e-mail to check carefully for factual and typographic errors. In the event of a multi-authored contribution, proofs are sent to the firstnamed author unless otherwise requested. Authors are responsible for checking these proofs and are strongly urged to make use of the Comment & Markup toolbar to note their corrections directly on the proofs. At this stage in the production process only minor corrections are allowed. Alterations to the original manuscript at this stage will result in considerable delay in publication and, therefore, are not accepted unless charged to the author. Proofs should be returned promptly.

Consent to Publish

Transfer of Copyright
By submitting a manuscript, the author agrees that the copyright for the article is transferred to the publisher if and when the article is accepted for publication. For that purpose the author needs to sign the Consent to Publish form, which will be sent with the first proofs of the manuscript.

Open Access
All issues of ALJ are published with Open Access, which allows for non-exclusive Open Access publication under a Creative Commons. During the publication process, authors will be required to sign a special Brill Open Consent to Publish Form. More information on Brill Open can be found on https://brill.com/openaccess.

This is a Diamond Open Access journal. Articles are published in Open Access at no cost to the author.
Applied Linguistics Journal (ALJ) is a double-anonymous peer-reviewed journal published by Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities in collaboration with Brill. The journal specializes in applied linguistics, i.e., the contemporary employment of language extending to various academic disciplines. It describes and investigates everyday problems related to languages and proposes solutions to overcome them in the service of humanity. ALJ welcomes contributions from various disciplines, including education, psychology, humanities, sociology, computer sciences, and communication. The journal covers language development, adaptation, and employment, as well as the development of educational curricula and tools, and the academic developments related to language policies. ALJ publishes on computing linguistics, language construction, digital libraries, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
Applied Linguistics Journal publishes research in both Arabic and English. The journal only publishes original content that has not been previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere.
