FASL 32 Submission Information and Templates

 

As announced at the FASL 32 conference in May, 2023, a refereed volume of proceedings will be published as an online special issue of the Journal of Slavic Linguistics in the fullness of time, ideally about a year after the conference took place. We requested advance notification of intention to submit, and 15 or so people so notified us. We could take a few more papers, so if there is  anyone else who failed to notify us by July 1 that they intend to submit their paper for publication, please feel free to go ahead. The announced deadline for submitting papers is 15 September 2023, but there can be a little bit of leeway on that date if you find you need it. Other deadlines in the publication information sheet passed out at the conference business meeting remain in effect, but will be enforced with a human face.

Lanko Marusic has helpfully provided a set of files including templates for article submissions in LaTeX and pdf format. LaTeX is preferred, but Word files are accepted as well. Lanko didn't provide a tailor-made .docx Word template, but instead said "We have not produced a separate docx template because it is in principle all the same how authors prepare the word document as long as it looks approximately like the PDF file inside the attached ZIP archive." I take that as pretty welcoming to whatever you can do technically, but please do your very best to follow the styles laid out in that pdf template in terms of paper organization, example presentation, scholarly apparatus, etc. Details of point size on footnote reference numbers and that soft of thing are less important. Please make sure to use standard Unicode fonts such as Times New Roman or the Computer Modern font which TeX users always favor. We ask you to respect a general page limit of 25 pages (single-spaced in the format demonstrated in the pdf template).   You can download the templates here. Submission versions should be sent to me (George Fowler, gfowler@indiana.edu) as emailed attachments, and please generate a pdf file to accompany either Word or TeX files as a check on font problems, etc. The volume editors (see the list in the publication information sheet) generally are not well-versed in LaTeX so we will use pdf files as a basis for refereeing and editorial comments. Important: If you don't get an acknowledgment of your submission within 24 hours, harass me (gently)!
