FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are the general requirements for submission to Training, Language and
Culture?

Training, Language and Culture (TLC) is a peer-reviewed research journal that
aims to promote and disseminate research spanning the spectrum of language,
linguistics, education and culture studies with a special focus on professional
communication and professional discourse. Editorial Board of Training, Language
and Culture invites original research and book reviews covering issues of
relevance for the scientific and professional communities.


The editorial team invites authors to submit manuscripts that have not been
published before and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Submissions are accepted in English only. Submitted manuscripts must comply with
the general academic requirements, fall within the aims and scope of the
journal, present original research, and appeal to a wide range of specialists
within the scientific community. Please read and follow our Submission
Guidelines carefully and use the Manuscript Template when preparing your
submission. Doing so will ensure that the publication of your work is as rapid
and efficient as possible. The publisher reserves the right to return
manuscripts that are not prepared in accordance with these instructions. For any
enquiries feel free to contact us at tlcjournal@rudn.ru.

What is the cost of the publication in Training, Language and Culture?

Training, Language and Culture publishes Open Access content with no Article
Processing Charges (APCs) applicable. This implies that authors are not subject
to any financial burden associated with the processing and publication of their
research work. The submission, peer review, production, online hosting, and
long-term archival are administered at no cost to the authors. This policy
aligns with the journal's core commitment to uphold the highest standards of
academic integrity, unbiased evaluation, timely publication, and promotion of
global access to seminal research findings. We strongly encourage submissions
from researchers worldwide, ensuring our platform remains accessible to all.

When will my article get published? Will it make the upcoming issue/this year's
issue?

The timeline for publication is not fixed and can vary significantly based on
several factors. These can include, but are not limited to, the following:


Peer Reviewer Availability. The process of peer review is an integral part of
maintaining the high quality of the production process. However, the
availability of appropriate reviewers who specialise in the relevant field and
their willingness to donate their time and expertise can affect the speed of
this process.


Topic Niche. If the topic of the article is particularly niche or specialised,
it might take longer to find suitable reviewers who are experts in that field,
which could lengthen the publication timeline.


Volume of Pending Submissions. The number of articles already in the publication
queue can also impact the time it takes to get to a new submission. Higher
volumes of pending submissions can cause delays.


Revision Needs. The quality of the submitted work and the extent of revisions
required after the peer-review process also play a role. Articles needing
significant revision will take longer to be ready for publication.


Production Times. Once an article is accepted, it goes into the production
phase, which includes copy-editing, typesetting, proofreading, and online
hosting. The time this takes can vary based on the current workload of the
production team.


Given the above variables, it is not feasible to provide a precise prediction as
to which issue your article will appear in. Every submission is important, and
the editorial team make every effort to complete each step of the process as
quickly as possible, without compromising the quality and integrity of the
published work.

I submitted my article a month ago, but I haven't been contacted regarding its
status. Shouldn't I have received the reviews within three weeks after the
submission?

The three-week period prescribed by the journal publication policy is the ideal
timeframe for a peer reviewer to complete their review once they have accepted
the task. It does not include the time it may take to locate and engage suitable
reviewers. Here are some important factors to understand:


Assignment of Reviewers. Upon receiving a submission, the editorial team
commences the process of identifying suitable peer reviewers who are experts in
the subject area of the paper. This process can sometimes be quick, but for
certain specialised or complex topics, it may take more time to find the right
reviewers who can thoroughly and accurately evaluate your work.


Reviewer Acceptance. Once potential reviewers have been identified, they need to
be contacted and agree to undertake the review. Given that reviewers are often
active academics themselves, they may not always be immediately available to
take on new papers to review, which can lead to delays in the start of the
review process.


Reviewer Timeline. After a reviewer agrees to evaluate a submission, they are
given three weeks to complete their review. However, if they face unexpected
circumstances or the paper is particularly complex, they might require an
extension.


Conflicting Reviews. On occasion, the reviews received for an article may not
align. For example, one reviewer may recommend rejection, while another might
suggest the article be accepted with revisions. In these cases, the editorial
team has to make a decision, which often involves seeking additional opinions
from another reviewer or a member of the editorial board. This step can also
extend the review process. We consider these situations carefully, aiming for a
fair and balanced final decision that is most beneficial to the academic
community and maintains the integrity and quality of the journal.


The time between submission of a paper and commencement of the review process
can vary significantly based on these factors. In some cases, it may take
several months to assign reviewers and receive their feedback. We understand
that waiting for a review can be a period of uncertainty, and we appreciate your
patience during this time.

I would like to submit an article that deals with the issue of teaching English
to students majoring in Engineering. Is this topic suitable for TLC, and will
you consider my submission?

Training, Language and Culture does not offer pre-evaluations of proposed topics
through correspondence or any other means. Only manuscripts submitted in
compliance with the TLC Submission Guidelines are eligible for evaluation. Upon
receipt, each manuscript undergoes an initial editorial review that assesses if
the manuscript adheres to the journal’s guidelines, falls within the Aims and
Scope it pursues, and essentially presents a quality research. If the manuscript
successfully passes the initial editorial review, it is then forwarded to the
peer-review stage. During this stage, the manuscript is thoroughly reviewed by
experts in the relevant field to assess its scholarly merit, rigour of research
methodology, validity of findings, and contribution to the field.

How can I track the status of my submission?

TLC does not currently support an online tracking system for manuscript
submissions. The addition of such functionality is under active consideration
and development, as it is acknowledged to be a valuable feature for authors.


Currently, inquiries regarding the status of a manuscript should be directed to
the journal via its official email. However, it is advised that such inquiries
be made no sooner than three months following the initial submission. This
period is aligned with the typical timeframe within which most submissions are
forwarded to the review stage.


TLC is committed to keeping authors informed and will proactively contact
contributors whenever there is noteworthy progress or updates related to their
submissions. Such updates may include the commencement of the peer-review
process, requests for revisions, or the final decision on the manuscript.



The manuscript template available on the website differs from the layout of the
published articles. Which style should I adhere to when preparing my submission?

The manuscript template provided on the journal's website should be adhered to
when preparing your manuscript. This template has been specifically designed to
aid authors in structuring their submissions in a manner that ensures
consistency, readability, and completeness of all necessary information. The
differences observed between the template and the layout of published articles
are due to the post-production process that each accepted manuscript undergoes
before publication. After a manuscript has been accepted, it is professionally
copy-edited, typeset, and formatted to match the journal's style. This includes
aspects such as font style and size, spacing, alignment, citation formatting,
and other graphical elements that comprise the final layout of a published
article.

I have previously published an article in Russian. Can I prepare a version of
this article in English for submission?

Training, Language and Culture maintains a stringent policy against the
submission of recycled content, which is regarded as a form of self-plagiarism.
Submitting a manuscript that is essentially a translation of an article
previously published in another language - full or in part - falls under this
category. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author reuses significant parts of
their own published work without acknowledging that they are doing so. It is
crucial to uphold the principles of originality and intellectual honesty in
academic publishing, and the practice of repurposing previously published work,
even in another language, undermines these principles.

Can I submit several articles at once?

No. Training, Language and Culture has a policy in place that restricts authors
from submitting multiple articles within a short period of time. This policy is
designed to ensure fairness and diversity in the selection of articles for
publication in each quarterly issue. Specifically, our policy states that one
and the same author cannot publish within the same astronomical year, whether as
a sole author of an article or as one of several contributors to an article.
This means that if you have already had an article published in a given
astronomical year, you will need to wait until the next astronomical year to
submit another article. We understand that authors may have multiple pieces of
research they wish to share, but this policy helps us maintain a balanced
representation of authors and topics in each issue of the journal. It also
encourages authors to carefully select and prioritise their submissions. We
appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this policy as it helps us
maintain the quality and diversity of the content we publish. If you have any
further questions or need clarification on this policy, please feel free to
contact our editorial team for assistance.
