Author Guidelines

Kindly be informed that due to the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation the editors of our Journal have decided not to consider manuscripts submitted by scholars and scientists who work at Russian education and research institutions. The invasion violates international law, jeopardises world peace and human rights of the citizens of Ukraine. All scholars from the Russian Federation are no longer members of the Editorial and Advisory boards unless they personally and openly condemned the aggression of their country against Ukraine.

The Editorial board kindly invites authors to publish a scholarly paper or a review article in the journal. Please submit your manuscripts online.  To improve the English language quality of your manuscript, you can use the AJE®'s free AI-based Curie Editing Service. This will increase your chances of being accepted by the Journal editors for further peer review.       

Your published articles will be in open access on the journal site: https://eejpl.vnu.edu.ua and be deposited both in the DOAJ archive and in the VNU Publishers repository: http://evnuir.vnu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/4099.

All submitted scholarly paper(s) will be peer-reviewed and the editorial board will inform the author(s) about any decision (on peer-review policy see here: https://eejpl.vnu.edu.ua/index.php/eejpl/policy).

Systematic reviews or meta-analysis: East European Journal of Psycholinguistics requires a completed PRISMA checklist and flow diagram as a condition of submission when reporting findings from a systematic review or meta-analysis. Templates for these can be found on the PRISMA website which also describes several PRISMA checklist extensions for different designs and types of data beyond conventional systematic reviews evaluating randomized trials. At minimum, your article should report the content addressed by each item of the checklist. Meeting these basic reporting requirements will greatly improve the value of your review and may enhance its chances for eventual publication.

All submissions should include two separate files:

a) A title page file with authors' names, email addresses, ORCID IDs, and affiliations.

b) A manuscript file without mentioning the authors' names and their affiliations, email addresses, or ORCID IDs in the text and References, e.g. (Authors, 2023).

The originals must meet the following requirements:

LANGUAGES

English (preference), Ukrainian.

FORMAT /LENGTH

The article must be in a version similar or higher than Word 97. The recommended length is 10-18 pages (max 5,000 words) including two abstracts and references, A4 paper format, with 2,5 cm for upper, lower, right and left margins, observing 2 space between lines and with Times New Roman font type, with a 12 point body.

Large Language Models, e.g. ChatGPT, do not currently meet our authorship criteria since they bear no  accountability for the work submitted and cannot approve the version to be published.
