NEW JOURNAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Applied Computer Translation
Keep Up To Date With Machine Translation
And Computer Aided Language Learning
Applied Computer Translation (ACT) aims to encourage an
inter-disciplinary perspective on this all important issue, by
bringing together concepts from linguistics, computer science and
related fields, in an easily understandable form.
Topics covered include knowledge based and probabilistic
machine translation, computer aided language learning and corpus
based
applications. News and reviews provide informed insight into
developments in the field, as well as providing a useful channel for
information.
Applications from the mainframe to the micro are covered,
ranging from research projects at an international level, to
activities in the classroom.
The journal gives high quality academic and industrial opinion
in a digestible form - articles and features will work together to
provide not only new information, but also background to areas
already
covered, to facilitate wider understanding.
Within the journal, language professionals, linguists,
computer scientists, industrialists and those with any interest in
machines and language can find a forum for active, intelligent
discussion on this important topic.
CONTRIBUTIONS INCLUDE :
Research Papers at the very forefront of technology.
Application Reports - short papers covering a wide
area, from personal comments
to positional papers to previews
of forthcoming work.
Case Studies - reviews of major applications of
computer translation in any
environment.

SUBMISSIONS :
You are invited to submit contributions to the
editors.
The normal length of an article is 7,00 words, though longer
articles may be accepted. You should write concisely but not at the
expense of clarity, bearing in mind that the referees report will be
based on a contributions length relative to its content.
An acknowledgement of receipt will normally be sent within
seven days. A publication decision should be made within six weeks
of
the receipt of a contribution. Our policy is to ensure rapid
publication of accepted contributions so that their currency is
maintained.
It is imperative that all articles are either sent in ascii
format by electronic mail, or on a 5.25/3.5 inch disk in a PC format.
Several word processor formats are acceptable though straight ascii
is
simplest. Under extenuating circumstances manually typed articles
will
be accepted.
Each article must be accompanied by an abstract. Please note
that electronic submissions save the waste of paper.
More detailed notes on guidance for contributors and a style
sheet are available from the publishers on request.
