The editors of CALL-EJ reserve the right to make editorial changes to manuscripts accepted for publication for the sake of style or clarity.

CALL-EJ welcomes book/software reviews and review essays of scholarly works dealing with English teaching, applied linguistics, second language acquisition, language assessment, applied linguistics, or related disciplines in relation with CAI/CMI/CAL/CALL. Anyone interested in reviewing a book/software for CALL-EJ may do so in the following ways:
1. Choose a recent book/software in the field, write a review of it, and submit it. Or contact the CALL-EJ Editor to check the availability of a book or a software program to be reviewed.
2. Send a copy of your brief bio as a separate file to CALL-EJ.

Received manuscripts are first internally reviewed by the editorial committee members within 2-3 weeks of their arrival. If the manuscript(s) need revision, they are sent back to the author(s) in 4-6 weeks to make changes.
After the appropriate revisions are complete, resubmitted, and are acceptable, they are transferred to an author-blanked form, and then sent to two or more external reviewers who are experts in their field. These external reviews usually take 4-6 weeks to be completed.
After receiving the results from the external reviewers, the editorial committee decides if further revisions are needed, and if the manuscript is deemed acceptable or not for publication.
