Directives aux auteurs
For authors
To submit a paper, please register on our website, and then click the "Make a submission" button.
The review process
Crossroads uses double-blind peer review, which is why the authors must ensure that their name(s) and all other identifying features are removed from the paper, both from the main text and the references. The editors ensure that all papers submitted to Crossroads are reviewed by at least two independent reviewers who are experts in their fields and who are affiliated with different institutions than the authors. If the two reviewers reach opposing conclusions, a third reviewer is appointed. The review process usually takes up to 12 weeks. The average number of weeks between submission and publication is 18.
Manuscript format
All contributions should be in English. Submitted papers must be original (i.e., not published or submitted for publication elsewhere). The manuscript should not exceed 8,000 words. The preferred font is Times New Roman (12pt). The text should be single-spaced and divided into sections with appropriate headings. All tables should be titled and numbered consecutively. Examples should be given in italics and numbered consecutively. Examples in languages other than English should be followed by the English translation in single quotation marks.
Abstract and keywords
The text should be preceded by an abstract (100-150 words, summarizing the aims of the paper, its main points and findings), and 5-8 keywords.
Papers in linguistics should use the following guidelines (based on APA 7th edition):
In-text citations:
one author (Wierzbicka, 2003, p. 20)
two authors (Huddleston & Pullum, 2002, p. 101);
three or more authors (Quirk et al., 1985);
multiple works - names of the authors should be placed in alphabetical order (Anderson, 2001; Jones, 2001; Smith, 2002)
The reference section should only include the works referred to in the text. It should have the following format:
