Current Research in NLP Journal

The NLP Research Journal contributes to the widely-acknowledged need for a research-minded approach to NLP. The papers illustrate the welcome diversity of NLP usage and include papers by both academic and practitioner researchers, across sectors including education, health, business and psychotherapy. They report variously on NLP practice; conceptual issues; and applications of NLP as research methods.

Contributions

The Journal invites submissions of papers including empirical research, conceptual and theoretical discussions, scholarly reviews and critical analyses that are directly relevant to NLP. Submissions utilising either quantitative or qualitative approaches, or both, are welcomed.

Each paper is reviewed by the editor and, if judged suitable for this publication, is sent to two referees for double blind peer review.
