Aims and scope

The journal Current Issues in Language Planning provides major summative and thematic review studies spanning and focusing the disparate language policy and language planning literature related to: 1) polities and language planning and 2) issues in language planning. It also publishes individual articles related to any area of language policy and planning. The journal publishes four issues per year. Polity study issues describe language policy and planning in various countries/regions/areas around the world, while the themed issues numbers are developed around a language policy and planning topic. Polity studies and thematic issues' papers in this journal may be self-nominated or invited contributions from acknowledged experts in the field. Guidelines for polity studies are available, and our Instructions for Authors page provides further information on how to submit a paper.
