### REVIEWING

NEJLT is committed to rapid and fair reviewing. NEJLT strives to preserve anonymity throughout the review process. The journal also invites revised resubmissions from select events, including the reviews from those events, including ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, EACL, AACL, and NeurIPS. For details, see: https://www.nejlt.org/review/

### ABOUT THE JOURNAL

NEJLT publishes in the field of language technology, i.e. Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, and related topics. Research focused on any natural language is invited.

NEJLT invites both journal articles and academic letters, and has a multi-iteration reviewing process, where revisions are a possibility.

The reviewing philosophy of the journal is to minimise reviewing biases, and also to provide constructive, helpful feedback during the review process.

NEJLT is a global journal with global focus. The journal’s publisher is located in Northern Europe, hence its name, and supports the journal without charge, enabling open access publication with no costs. NEJLT is indexed by many publication indexing services, and ranked by many national bibliographic ranking systems.

NEJLT accepts submissions continuously all year round.
