Submissions to CL may be made in any of the following categories:
Papers,
Survey Articles,
Squibs and Discussions, and
Last Words. We also publish
Book Reviews.
The submission of an article to CL for refereeing means that it has not been copyrighted, has not been published in or submitted for publication to another refereed archival publication, and has not appeared in any conference or workshop proceedings. Substantially extended versions of conference papers are acceptable as submissions. The submitted manuscript must be available for peer review without restriction. If any version of the paper has appeared, or will appear, in any other publication, the details of such publication must be made known to the Editor at the time of submission. The final version of a paper tentatively accepted for publication must be accompanied by a Copyright Transfer Agreement signed by all of the authors or, in the case of a "work for hire," by the employer. This written transfer is necessary under the 1978 U.S. Copyright law.
Manuscripts for Computational Linguistics should be submitted electronically in the form of a PDF file, formatted single-spaced in accordance with our Style Guidelines, and beginning with an informative abstract of approximately 150-250 words. The title, authors' names and abstract should also be provided separately in a text file, with the contact author's email adddress clearly indicated. Manuscripts must be written in English.
Submissions should be emailed to the Editor at the email address shown below. If electronic submissions is not possible, please contact the Editor at the physical mail address below.
Survey Articles either provide a survey of the state of the art in a subfield of computational linguistics, allowing researchers to keep abreast of areas outside their main focus, and providing good starting points for those such as new doctoral students; or survey literature at the interfaces of the CL community, but not well represented in the CL journal, thus introducing relevant peripheral research to the journal's readership. Prospective authors of survey articles should first submit a summary proposal: see our Guidelines for Submission of Survey Articles for more details.
This category includes short articles
reporting technical results, discussions of results, algorithms, or new
computational linguistic data or tools of interest to the journal
readership. Submissions should generally not exceed eight double-spaced
pages and should be submitted to:
