We would like to inform you that the call for papers for the issue 58 of the
journal Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural is open and available at
http://www.sepln.org/?lang=en


Introduction
-------------------------

The aim of the journal Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural is to provide a
forum for the publication of scientific-technical articles in the field of
Natural Language Processing (NLP), for both the national and international
scientific community. The articles must be unpublished and cannot be
simultaneously submitted for publication in other journals or conference
proceedings. The journal also aims to promote the development of areas
related to NLP, disseminate research carried out, identify future guidelines
for basic research, and present software applications in this field. Every
year the Sociedad Española de Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural (SEPLN)
(Spanish Society for the Natural Language Processing) publishes two issues
of the journal, including original articles, presentations of R&D projects,
book reviews and summaries of PhD theses.

The scientific quality of the Journal is supported by the index SNIP (Source
Normalized Impact per Paper) with 0,39 points in 2015, and by the index SJR
(SCImago Journal Rankings) with 0.201 in 2015. Likewise, the Journal has
been added to the Emergin Sources Citation Index by Thomson. More
information in http://www.sepln.org/category/journal/en_indices/?lang=en

The print edition of the journal is distributed freely to the SEPLN members,
but an open access journal is also freely available to all online readers.
