Linguistics and Communication Journal Directory

  Key  About

×

Explore Peer-Reviewed Linguistics and Communication Journals

The PJIP maintains a comprehensive list of Linguistics and Communication journals, offering insights to help researchers identify apt journals for their work. Each record includes information on journal aims and scope, editorial boards, word/page limits, anonymity policies, and open-access options. If a journal participates in the PJIP Operations Survey, its listing will also be accompanied by statistics about response times, acceptance rates, and % of submissions that are desk-rejected.

Learn more about providing missing data or including a new journal on our Indexing page.

The Sub-Fields selector above the directory can be applied to isolate particular subject subdisciplines. The Custom Search Builder below the directory can be used to show only particular journals. For example, setting Area to equal GNRL will only show generalist journals, setting OpAc to not NOA will remove journals that do not offer the option to publish open access, etc. This functionality applies to all data stored in the table, including that in the drop-down menus. More information on how to use these features can be found in a guide here.
