Instructions for Authors

Remember to send your LaTeX source files for both the review as well as camera-ready version.

Regular Submissions

Manuscripts are welcome provided that they have not yet been published elsewhere and that they bring some interesting and new insights contributing to the broad field of computational linguistics in any of its aspects, or of linguistic theory. The submitted articles may be:

• long articles with completed, wide-impact research results both theoretical and practical, and/or new formalisms for linguistic analysis and their implementation and application on linguistic data sets, or
• short or long articles that are abstracts or extracts of Master's and PhD theses, with the most interesting and/or promising results described. Also
• short or long articles looking forward that base their views on proper and deep analysis of the current situation in various subjects within the field are invited, as well as
• short articles about current advanced research of both theoretical and applied nature, with very specific (and perhaps narrow, but well-defined) target goal in all areas of language and speech processing, to give the opportunity to junior researchers to publish as soon as possible;
• short articles that contain controversial, polemic or otherwise unusual views, supported by some experimental evidence but not necessarily evaluated in the usual sense are also welcome.

The recommended length of long article is 12–30 pages and of short paper is 6–11 pages.

The copyright of papers accepted for publication remains with the author. The editors reserve the right to make editorial revisions but these revisions and changes have to be approved by the author(s). Book reviews and short book notices are also appreciated.

The manuscripts are reviewed by 2 independent reviewers, at least one of them being a member of the international Editorial Board.

Authors receive a printed copy of the relevant issue of the PBML together with the original pdf files.

PBML does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges.

We request authors to explicitly refer to data and tools used in the research described. If a tool or a dataset has been developed, extended or modified and used in such a research by the authors, we offer to use the LINDAT/CLARIN repository in order to make such data available and referenceable in a proper way.

Papers made available as preprints (e.g. via arXiv.org) and not published in other conference or workshop proceedings before are acceptable given that this fact is acknowledged in an email to the editors. After your paper is accepted to PBML you can freely submit it arXiv, just please fill the DOI and reference to PBML at arXiv. You can use pbmlarxiv.cls, which is a PBML-compatible style suitable for arXiv (which does not support XeLaTeX).
