Happy November - a particularly busy time for Corpus Linguists, as suggested by the low number of submissions we get in that month.

Tip for prospective Corpora authors: read some of the articles in the journal before you submit to get a sense of the journal's themes and style.

Tip for prospective Corpora authors: don't submit your paper to several journals at the same time 😬

Tip for prospective Corpora authors: we don't require you to make 100% of the changes that reviewers ask for. We do expect most of the changes to be carried out but if you can provide convincing reasons why you don't want to make a change, we'll listen.

If you get a request to review something and aren't able to then it would be lovely if you replied to decline. You don't need to give a reason but if you wanted to recommend an alternative reviewer then that would be even lovelier.

Tip for prospective Corpora authors (and new authors especially): Don't let the existence of a review that asks for changes put you off resubmitting - the vast majority of papers require some sort of revision before they get published.

Our most read paper to date in 2021 is Inter-religious relations in Yorubaland, Nigeria: corpus methods and anthropological survey data by Insa Nolte, @clydeancarno and Rebecca Jones https://t.co/GLCtU3vycc

Tip for prospective Corpora authors: no-one likes a bad review (and we all get them). Don't take it personally, give yourself time before responding and approach them as dispassionately as you can. If it's a reject, the feedback can sometimes be useful in submitting elsewhere.

Tip for prospective Corpora authors: We publish in black and white so change coloured bar charts to gray-scale before you submit.

[Corpora Journal @CorporaJournal]

Tip for prospective Corpora authors: use figures sparingly. Do you need a simple bar chart that contains just 2 or 3 bars?

Corpora journal would not exist if it wasn't for our reviewers. We are hugely grateful for the work they put in - and we're pleased to announce that all reviewers now receive a 20% discount on Edinburgh University Press books.

And it’s here!!! I loved reading this book! Sooo many great chapters for people doing research or teaching academic English. Read my review and the whole book too!

Issue 16.1 of Corpora is out now, with a free article by Michael Gauthier entitled "‘Eww wtf, what a dumb bitch’: a case study of similitudes inside gender-specific swearing patterns on Twitter" https://t.co/Kv0ZxdHWqm

@OlaSwatek @LGoulart845 It's open access too! https://t.co/s0G7Qx7vZV

Tip for prospective Corpora authors: a table of words, keywords or collocates is the beginning of an analysis, it is not the analysis in itself.

[Corpora Journal @CorporaJournal]

Coming up in 2021 we have reviews of books authored by Ute Romer, Viviana Cortes, Eric Friginal, Yuan Tao, Tony McEnery, Andrew Hardie, Nagwa Younis, Jesse Egbert and Paul Baker.

Tip for prospective Corpora authors: Just because your paper involves analysis of text won't necessarily make it relevant for Corpora Journal. We prioritise papers that use and develop corpus methods and tools.
