Highlighted Linguistics Journals

The following journals are a few of the top journals for theoretical and computational linguistics, including specific subfields of the discipline.

Find Conference Papers

Conference proceedings are a key resource for computational linguistics research. The majority of proceedings for comp ling conferences are available for free in open-access repositories. Repositories may include peer-reviewed conference and workshop papers, unpublished works like working papers, and other forms of grey literature.

If you want to learn more about a specific conference and their peer-review process, conference organizers should provide an overview of their review process on the conference websites. Conferences may also share reports about the status of their peer review process (e.g., Program Chairs' Report on Peer Review at ACL 2023) as part of the conference proceedings. If you are regularly citing conference papers in your work, make sure you look at the conferences' review criteria so you have a baseline for how they vet different types of conference submissions.

Find Preprints & Post-prints

Some scholarly journals allow authors to post an "e-print" version of their paper to an open repository, which can then be downloaded and read for free by anyone. Sometimes the posted version is a "preprint," which is a full manuscript that has not yet undergone peer review.  A "post-print" is a full version of the manuscript which has undergone peer review in preparation for publication in a journal.  Both preprint and post-print versions may differ from the final published article.
