[ecrea] New Journal: Journal of Corpora and Discourse Studies (JCaDS)

*New /Journal of Corpora and Discourse Studies/ announced*

Cardiff University Press has announced the forthcoming publication of 
the /Journal of Corpora and Discourse Studies/ (JCaDS), a new 
peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the computer-assisted 
study of language in use as a vehicle of communication. Edited by an 
international team of scholars led by Professor Alan Partington of the 
University of Bologna (Italy), /JCaDS/ breaks new ground as the first 
linguistics journal to fully embrace the principles of open science, 
offering not only open access to the journal's articles but also open 
data that can be reanalysed and reused. In addition to original 
empirical research, /JCaDS/ will publish reviews of books, software 
tools and corpora.

The /Journal of Corpora and Discourse Studies/ is a twice-yearly, 
peer-reviewed, online, open-access journal publishing corpus-assisted 
research into discourse, defined as language in use as a vehicle of 
communication. /JCaDS/ is pluridisciplinary: we welcome studies from all 
areas of the humanities and social sciences that incorporate corpus 
techniques in investigating how spoken and written language is used and 
how meanings are created and explored.
