Author Guidelines

If you would like your paper to be considered for inclusion in a forthcoming issue of New Voices, you are kindly requested to apply the guidelines in the style-sheet before submitting your paper. To download the revised 2023 style-sheet for article submissions, click HERE .

Papers submitted to New Voices in Translation Studies should not hitherto have been submitted for publication elsewhere, unless the publication was in a language other than English. Papers may be submitted elsewhere after they have been published in New Voices. Please note that, as specified in the Editorial Policy, preference shall be given to contributions by new researchers.

If you would like to submit your PhD abstract for inclusion in a forthcoming issue of New Voices, you are kindly requested to apply the guidelines in the style-sheet for abstracts. To download the style-sheet for abstracts click HERE.

Book reviews should follow the guidelines available HERE.

Papers should be submitted in electronic format through the submissions page.

After registration and submission, you will be allocated to an editor and can enter discussions. Please let your allocated editor know if you have any questions or concerns.

The timeline from submission to final publication usually works as follows:

* From initial submission to feedback from allocated editor: 12 weeks or thereabouts

* Revisions requested before going on to double blind peer review: dependent on authors' own time commitments.

We do not send on papers to blind peer review which we think will be rejected, as this is not a great use of author or reviewer time. For this reason, the process between editorial review and blind peer review can take longer in some cases than in other journals.

*From double blind peer reviewer to blind review report: 12 weeks

*At this point, we could envisage 5 responses to the paper:

1) recommendation for publication, no amendments needed (this has happened only once in my time as editor here).

2) recommendation for publication, minor amendments.

3) recommendation for publication, subject to major revisions (which will be checked by editorial board).

4) request for resubmission - so not rejection, more a request for a comprehensive rethink. A number of papers have gone on to be published since then, but the rethink can take time for many authors.

5) Rejection (very rare, due to editorial process happening beforehand).

In general, it can take 9-18 months for a paper to be published from first submission.

Policy on Plagiarism and the Use of AI

New Voices in Translation Studies is committed to the principles of ethical publishing. We have a duty of care to our international and intercultural readership within the TIS community, to our parent organisations, IATIS and the Chulalongkorn University, but also to our own editorial team, to our reviewers and authors. Our internal and external peer-review processes are dedicated to ensuring a high standard of academic integrity in the content we publish.

In practical terms, this means that we seek to promote widely accepted standards of academic integrity regarding plagiarism and the misuse of Artificial Intelligence. Any content submitted to New Voices must be the author’s or authors’ own work, reflecting their own research activities. As is conventional in all scholarly contexts, any reliance on other human or artificial resources must be properly referenced. While AI may be used sparingly to achieve a polished academic style in English, authors must be accountable for detailed content, argument, structure and referencing. When submitting a manuscript to New Voices in Translation Studies, authors must disclose the use of generative AI in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of their article before the References list.
