Editorial Reading Rounds
Your submission is read by the editors to reach the final decision. Submissions may go through multiple rounds of Author Suggestions before publication. Author Suggestions generally include the suggestions from both the editorial team and the peer reviewers.
The authors are expected to proofread and format their submissions as per MLA Guidelines.
If you so wish, you may also avail the editorial services offered by LLIDS. You can read more about it here: https://ellids.com/author-guidelines/editorial-services/.
Please note: Availing Editorial Services is not a requirement for submitting to LLIDS, nor would it ensure the publication of the submission in any way.
Author Contract Signing
Once your submission has been accepted for publication, we will share an Author Contract for you to sign.
Formatting
Once the author revisions rounds are complete, your submission will be sent forward for typesetting.
Publication
From its inception in September 2017 till June 2023, Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies (LLIDS) published four quarterly Issues annually.
As of July 2023, LLIDS has transitioned to a Continuous Publication model. This model lets us publish individual papers without waiting for the entire Issue to be ready. Consequently, it allows for a faster publication of papers, which is advantageous to both the authors and readers. Once all the submissions in an Issue have been processed, the published papers are collated in the Issue. Papers published are available both in the List of Published Articles on the website – https://ellids.com/ – as well as on the Ongoing Issue page.
Unlike the established form of Continuous Publication model, LLIDS retains the pagination. The journal has multiple Call for Papers (CFPs) for each Issue which generally include a theme based CFP and a General submissions CFP, which are then published under separate sections. The pagination reflects the sections, such that the first section starts from page number 1.1, the second section starts from page number 2.1, and so on.
This transition to the Continuous Publication model does not affect the previous publications in any way. If you have any further queries regarding the same, please feel free to write to us at editors[at]ellids[dot]com.
