CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS


The CALL-IS newsletter, On CALL, encourages submission of many types of articles related to computer-assisted language learning (CALL): software, website or book reviews, announcements, reports on conferences, presentations or webcasts that you might have participated in. If you have suggestions, ideas, and/or questions, send them to Larry Udry.

General Submission Guidelines

Articles should

  1. Have a title (written in ALL CAPS).

  2. Have the author’s name with hyperlinked email, affiliation, city, country (in that order).

  3. Have an author photo: 90px (width) x 120px (height), jpeg format, a head and shoulder shot (clear, clean, and professional), preferably including the person's name who took the shot.

  4. Include a 2- to 3-sentence (50 words or fewer) teaser for the newsletter homepage.

  5. Be no longer than 1,750 words (includes bylines, teasers, main text, tables, and author bios). Articles longer than 1,750 words can be included, but will not be copyedited.

  6. Contain no more than five citations. Reference lists with more than five citations can be included, but will not be copyedited.

  7. Follow the style guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th Edition (APA style).

  8. Be in MS Word (.docx) or rich text (.rtf) format.

  9. Have a 2- to 3-sentence author biography at the end of the article.

  10. Have hyperlinks that have meaningful URLs (e.g., here).

  11. Have charts, graphs, audio files, video files, and images that enhance the article.

  12. Accurately and completely credit sources, including students. Do not take online content (including photos) from other websites without attribution. Contact me for the permission forms.

  13. Respect fair use and the intellectual property rights of others. For a definition of fair use, go here. As per TESOL: “Please note that the copyright holder, not TESOL, determines what counts as fair use, and that the author is not always the copyright holder. When a scholarly journal publishes an article, for example, it often requires the author to assign copyright to the journal or the publisher.”

  14. Get written permission for borrowed material (including photos) and send the signed permissions forms. Contact me for the permission forms.

Book reviews of between 300 and 500 words should provide the reviewer's analysis of books that are relevant to the practice and theory of CALL.
