Presentation

International Journal of Translation, published since 1989 by Bahri Publications, solicits papers relevant for theory and practice of manual, computer-aided, or automatic translation.

Publication has no cost for the authors, and the editorial house sends for free one complete copy of the issue to every author. This guarantees the quality of the papers: the publisher's income comes from the readers, not from the authors.

Submission and expression of interest

Papers ready to review or abstracts of papers in preparation (expression of interest) are received through the

 WEB SUBMISSION SYSTEM (click here) 

We encourage you to submit abstracts of papers in preparation, for us to plan the future special issues and to allocate room for your paper. When submitting an abstract, please indicate when your paper will be ready. You can upload the full text of your paper later.

For review, a file in one of the following formats is to be submitted: PDF (preferred), PS, Word. In case of acceptance, you will need to upload your source file: Word, TeX, etc. (we cannot publish a paper from only a PDF or PS file). We will send you further instructions on uploading your camera-ready source files upon acceptance notification.

Deadline for the nearest issue: May 10, 2007. Papers received after this date will be considered for the next issue.
 

Format

We do not have any specific page limit: we welcome both short and long papers, provided the quality and novelty of the paper adequately justifies the length.

We encourage you to follow the format of this sample paper: Word DOC (right-click and choose Save Target As to save), PDF; here are the format guidelines. Submissions in another format can be reviewed, but the use of the recommended format is encouraged.

Main topics of interest
