Submission of Articles
Potential authors who are interested in the various themes covered by our journal are highly encouraged to submit their articles, reports, and reviews to TRANSLANG. But before submitting your manuscripts, we invite you to read our "Author Guide" and "Instructions for Authors" carefully on the online platform designed for Algerian scientific journals:
Notice that Registration and access are required to submit articles and to check the status of manuscripts. To get informed about the journal’s publishing format, the Template is available for download in English and French from the website of the journal and does not require registration.
After you reach the journal’s homepage, whether you are logged in with an ASJP account or not, the “Paper Submission” button will always appear in a menu at the bottom of the journal’s cover page thumbnail. This will take you to a page with a downloadable guide for authors and instructions for authors (Template).
The submission process is fairly easy, and all that you will need to do is click on the “Paper Submission” located in the ASJP platform link.
Guidelines for Authors
Language(s): The Journal’s publishing languages are English, French, Spanish, and German. Italian and Russian are the publishing languages only for Special Issues. All manuscripts must follow conventional norms within standardized varieties.
Submission Requirements: Typescripts must be complete, meeting all formal and academic requirements. Any defaulting typescript will not be dispatched to any reviewer.
Non-Roman Scripts: Avoid unless inconsistency is caused. Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, and Greek are accepted only if they are succinct, relevant, and placed on separate lines for long phrases.
Status of Article Evaluation
Reviewers disclose conflicts of interest and use an evaluation form available on the platform. Judgment is based on originality, method, data analysis, and documentation. If disagreement between reviewers occurs, further peer reviewing may ensue.
