Australian Review of Applied Linguistics

The journal invites contributions relevant to the aim and scope of the journal.

Articles under consideration are double-blind peer-reviewed and decisions on all published content are made by the editors.

ARAL now follows "Your Paper Your Way": we differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submissions.

If this is the first time submitting your paper, you do not need to follow the official ARAL stylesheet. You may choose to submit your manuscript as a single Word or PDF file to be used in the initial refereeing process, with only minimal expectations for formatting; your paper must still follow the general style of an academic paper, including appropriate consistency in terms, citation, paragraphing and headings.

When preparing a submission, please consult these:

• ARAL Author Guidance for Good Quality Submissions
• ARAL Author Instructions

as well as the publishers' information on Ethics and Rights below.

Only if/when your paper is invited to be revised following initial review will you be requested to put your paper in to a 'correct format' for acceptance, in line with the

• ARAL Stylesheet

Submissions should be done through the journal's online EM submission portal .

• Short Guide to the EM portal for Authors

If you are not able to submit online, or for any other editorial correspondence, please contact the editors by e-mail: araleditorgmail.com
