> Journal of Natural Language Engineering
>
> *** Call for special issue proposals ***
>
> The area of Natural Language Engineering, and Natural Language Processing
> in general, is following the trend of many other areas in becoming highly
> specialised, with a number of application-orientated and narrow-domain
> topics emerging or growing in importance. These developments, often
> coinciding with a lack of related literature, necessitate and warrant the
> publication of specialised volumes focusing on a specific topic of interest
> to the Natural Language Processing (NLP) research community.
>
> The Journal of Natural Language Engineering (JNLE), which now features six
> 160-page issues per year and has increased its impact factor for third
> consecutive year, invites proposals for special issues on a competitive
> basis regarding any topics surrounding applied NLP which have emerged as
> important recent developments and that have attracted the attention of a
> number of researchers or research groups. In recent years, Calls for
> Proposals for special issues have resulted in high-quality outputs and this
> year we look forward to another successful competition.
>
> Topics could cover a variety of methods, tasks, resources and applications
> from Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, Speech and
> Language Processing, Text Analytics and related areas but should preferably
> focus on the practical implications of operation on a large scale. Topics
> covering NLP methods, tasks and resources could include, but are not
> limited to: POS tagging; parsing; semantic role labelling; word sense
> disambiguation; anaphora and coreference resolution; textual entailment;
> named entity recognition; computational treatment of multiword expressions;
> natural language generation; speech recognition; speech synthesis;
> multimodal processing; statistical methods in Natural Language Engineering;
> machine learning; word embedding; deep learning; evaluation methodologies;
> corpora and ontologies. Topics covering NLP applications could include, but
> are not limited to: machine translation including neural machine
> translation; translation memory and translation tools; summarisation;
> simplification; information retrieval; information extraction; question
> answering; text and web mining; opinion mining; fact checking; profiling
> and NLP for biomedical texts.
>
> Calls for special issue proposals may be based on a successful workshop or
> a body of work associated with a particular group or section of the
> community. In all cases, however, the reviewing process of the accepted
> papers must be rigorous and all submissions must be reviewed by at least
> three members of the Guest Editorial Board or other suitable reviewers
> agreed by the JNLE Editors. In the case of papers previously submitted to
> workshops, the Guest Editors will not be able to re-use previous workshop
> reviews. In addition, the call for papers of the accepted proposals must be
> open to all interested parties and all authors will be given equal
> treatment; in the case of proposals based on previous workshops,
> submissions cannot be limited to workshop participants only. Prospective
> proposers are also encouraged to consult the successful Journal columns
> "Industry Watch" and "Emerging Trends" for additional inspiration.
>
> Interested editors have the option of preliminary feedback by emailing
> expressions of interest accompanied by a brief description of the intended
> special issue to the Executive Editor (R.Mitkov at wlv.ac.uk). He will give
> a brief indication of whether the topic is appropriate to Natural Language
> Engineering. In the case of initial positive feedback, the prospective
> Guest Editors will be asked to submit a proposal for a special issue that
> will be reviewed by the Editors of the Journal and by other members of the
> Journal Editorial Board.
>
> The proposal for a special issue should include a brief outline of the
> field and rationale as to why it is important to launch a special issue on
> the particular topic of interest at the current time. It should include a
> relevant literature survey (related previous special issues, volumes,
> workshop and conference proceedings) and should explain the added value of
> the proposed special issue against the background of other relevant or
> competing publications and volumes (if applicable). It is desirable that evidence
> for the estimate of expected submissions to the special issue be provided
> and justified. The proposals should also include a tentative Guest
> Editorial Board. It is desirable that at least one (preferably two) of the
> members of the Guest Editorial Board is on the JNLE Editorial Board. The
> proposal should also include a tentative time-scale for the production of
> the special issue (the time-scale committed to in the proposal should be
> adhered to, if the proposal is accepted) and information about the
> prospective Guest Editors such as relevant experience, publications etc.
> All special issues are required to offer a survey of the field as its first
> article which can be written either by the Guest Editors or by an invited
> author / authors. The special issues should consist of 160 pages as with
> the regular issues; exceptionally, 144 pages can be accepted as well.
>
> Time-scale
>
> - Deadline for submission of special issue proposals:
> 20 November 2017
> (proposals to be emailed to R.Mitkov at wlv.ac.uk with a copy to
> jnleea at wlv.ac.uk )
>
> - Notification of acceptance/rejection:
> 18 December 2017
>
> - Calls for papers related to the successful proposals:
> 15 January 2018 for the first proposal
> March-April 2018 for the second proposal;
> June 2018-October 2018 for the rest of the accepted proposals (if
> applicable)
