About the Journal

Focus and Scope

ALFA – Revista de Linguística, the linguistics journal of the São Paulo State University (UNESP), sponsored by the Research Provost, publishes papers authored by professors, researchers, and PhD students in co-authorship with professors and researchers from national and international institutions of learning, teaching and research. Maximum number of co-authors should be 3. Regular issues are organized in a “continuous flow” system, and special issues are edited according to the organizers’ convenience. The journal publishes papers, book reviews, interviews and translations with a substantial contribution to any of the various branches of Linguistics. 

Peer Review Process

All submissions are read by two anonymous reviewers. Authors’ identities are not revealed to the reviewers. Should the judgment of the two reviewers be inconsistent, a third reviewer will be called in. Once the reviewing process is concluded, the review copies are sent to the author, or to the first author of co-authored papers, with the appropriate instructions.

Open Access Policy

Alfa does not charge authors for publication. This journal offers immediate free access to its content, according to the principle that making scientific knowledge freely available to the general public provides a worldwide democratization of knowledge. According to that principle, Alfa is also available in the DOAJ - Directory of Open Access Journals.
