Publication Ethics
Publication Standards
Authors of original research should provide an accurate description of the theoretical and experimental background, followed by methodology specifics, results, and an objective discussion of the significance of the work.
Authorship
Authorship should be limited to those who meet the following criteria: They have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, or execution of the reported research. They have authored the manuscript or revised it critically. Others who have made substantial contributions to the research, such as providing technical help, writing and editing assistance, and general support, but do not meet the criteria for authorship, should not be listed as authors but should be acknowledged. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate coauthors are included in the paper and that all coauthors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
Originality and plagiarism
Authors should ensure that they have written and submitted only entirely original works. If they have used the work and/or words of others, these works must be cited and/or acknowledged appropriately. Publications that have influenced the nature of the work reported in the manuscript should also be cited. Plagiarism may take many forms, from copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in any form constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is strictly unacceptable.
Acknowledgments
Authors should properly acknowledge the contributions of others and cite publications that have influenced the reported work. Authors should not use information obtained while providing confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications unless they have obtained explicit written permission from the author(s) of the work involved. Any financial support, scholarships, or economic support related to the reported research should also be explicitly stated.
Each contributor to the conference may appear as a single author of only two papers and as a co-author of two additional papers. Up to four authors are recommended. Submitted abstracts, limited to one page and a maximum of 500 words (excluding author name(s)), should address the following criteria:
Abstract layout guidelines
Title of paper
Keep the title as concise and closely related to the paper’s content as possible. The abstract should not exceed one page, including references.
Object of Study
Start with a brief description of the object of study or investigation, along with the theoretical context. State your questions or hypotheses in simple terms, avoiding overly technical terminology. In short, explain what you have done.
Methodology
Summarize the key aspects of your methodology, including subjects, materials, technological context, and anything essential for readers to understand your work. In short, explain how you conducted your research.
Results
Summarize your results straightforwardly, especially in relation to your questions or hypotheses. Avoid intricate details, including statistics, which may require extensive reader review. In short, describe what you have found.
Conclusions
Draw explicit conclusions from your results. References References in abstract submissions are optional and can be omitted. It’s preferable to focus on your own work rather than referencing the work of others in this concise space.

All accepted papers to ExLing Conferences are published in the ExLing proceedings series.
Papers should include unpublished original research whereas papers in the ExLing proceedings may be submitted to book editions and journal publications.
The ExLing proceedings reflect the optimism of the ExLing Society to promote interdisciplinary research and international collaboration.
Established scholars in diverse areas of experimental linguistics will be invited to present their current research and exchange ideas with ExLing Society members at regular ExLing tutorials.
The tutorials will bring together major research centres, individual researchers, and research groups in a worldwide, interdisciplinary and interactive setting.
The tutorials are aimed at facilitating discussion on current approaches and methodologies and will especially provide young scholars with the chance to engage with established researchers.
The ExLing Society Exhibition forms an integral part of our annual ExLing Conference.
Language applications play an exciting and ever-growing role in numerous aspects of everyday life. The development of smart language processing tools and communication systems have benefitted users of spoken, written and signed language in various ways.
Alongside these applications, significant advances have been made within language education (programming, performance, evaluation) and language pathology (diagnosis, evaluation, rehabilitation).
In the context of uniting linguistic research and language application prospects, the ExLing Society promotes and supports initiative attempts and start-ups relating to the design and development of language education and language pathology.

The aims of our new launched Journal of Experimental Linguistics are multidimensional regarding production of knowledge and development of linguistic theory.
The Journal will highlight the welcomed use of robust experimental methodologies as well as the advancement of linguistic applications — be they in language education, language pathology or language technology — in the context of state-of-the-art research avenues and current society requirements.
In our approach, experimental linguistics is the indispensable link between linguistic theory and language applications. Experimental methodologies are set up to address specific questions and alternative hypotheses, which lead to empirical results which, in turn, enlighten linguistic theory or contribute to the verification of theoretical aspects and the creation of new ones.
