About Our Translation Journal
From Literary translation to Audiovisual translation through Neural Machine Translation (NMT) systems, conference and community interpreting, intercultural communication, sociolinguistics and more, Critic covers a wide range of interesting and innovative research topics. In fact, we are interested in anything related to languages, translation, culture, and multilingual communication.
Our journal publishes research from scholars worldwide and we are always thrilled to help share knowledge. You can get in touch to discover behind-the-scenes, insights, author profiles, and more. Alternatively, you can play an active role by volunteering as an editorial assistant.
Editorial Process
1. Selection
Our translation journal focusses onquality. So we make sure articles submitted through a Call for papers meet basic requirements in terms of originality, relevance, adequation with the main theme(s) and editorial policy, among others.
2. Evaluation
Preselected article proposals then go through a rigorous selection process: a single-blind, peer-review by two independent reviewers, followed by a final acceptance/rejection decision by the Editors (or guest editors, as appropriate).
3. Publication
Selected articles are returned to authors with comments from blind reviewers. Authors are given time to make changes/revisions before their articles go through a second and third evaluation. Quality matters.
