• Reviewing policies:
  • Evidence-based policies: NEJLT uses research on peer review to lead community discussion about shaping review policy
  • Full author anonymity: no editor responsible for the acceptance decision should see an author’s name or affiliation
  • Signed reviews: following e.g. the BMJ, reviews may be signed, but reviewer identity hidden during the review process
  • Include prior reviews: Accelerated review when providing recent prior reviews (<1yr) from top venues
  • Reviews must be substantial and constructive
  • Paper acceptance based on excellence alone

$~$

• Submission format:
  • Paper: follows one of the paper types, as listed above; unlimited length
  • Letter: new result or discussion point; up to six pages

$~$

• Publication format:
  • Free to publish, free to submit, free to read
  • DOIs issued upon article publication under the journal ISSN
  • Articles first appear at our official site supported by Linköping e-Press
  • Articles are automatically indexed and published in the ACL Anthology

NEJLT welcomes manuscripts from anywhere in the world that present excellent research in the field of language technology and natural language processing. Work on all languages is welcome. The range of papers suitable for NEJLT is just the same as that suitable at international NLP venues, for example, the ACL conference.

NEJLT is the journal of NEALT, the Northern European Association for Language Technology.

The ACL Anthology includes articles published in NEJLT since volume 7 (2021), under the venue “NEJLT”.

The journal is published by Linköping University Electronic Press, for which we are grateful. The editor-in-chief of NEJLT is appointed by the Northern European Association for Language Technology. This geographical connection gives the journal its name, though the journal itself does not have a Northern European language focus.
