Description
Second and foreign language educators strive for better methods, conditions, and technology to teach the target language (TL). Due to the day-to-day endeavour, we are rewarded by witnessing learners’ successful TL acquisition. Sharing our research outcomes, therefore, is critical to generating new public knowledge. Since educators are often required to publish to improve career prospects and raise visibility as scholars, choosing the right journal for those purposes is vital. The JALT CALL Journal, a Scopus Q1 journal, has been evolving with Computer-Assisted Language Learning as a research field and will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. In this session, as the Editor-in-Chief of the JALT CALL Journal, the presenter will explain the factors that need to be considered before preparing a manuscript, the necessary components in an academic paper, and what is looked at during the initial editorial decision. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to see, even after successful research completion, researchers struggle to publish in academic journals by facing a series of desk rejections without knowing why. This session, therefore, aims to discuss some of the issues concerning our review process and to demystify the world of academic publishing to reduce the risk of rejection.
