Digital Studies in Language and Literature (DSLL), a new Open-Access journal co-launched by De Gruyter and Chongqing University, invites submissions for its 2025 Issue 1.
DSLL is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary publication committed to promoting research at the intersection of digital technology, language, and literature. Accepted articles will be published under a fully sponsored Open Access via a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY-4.0) License, ensuring that research is freely accessible for reading and downloading by all.
The journal offers a platform for scholars, researchers, educators, and practitioners to explore and share insights in language and literature involving digital technology. The scope includes empirical studies, review articles (such as meta-analysis and narrative synthesis), case studies, theoretical articles, and research method studies. Studies conducted using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods, text- or learning-based studies, those investigating technological tools, and those observing events or examining phenomena relationships are welcome.
Interdisciplinary research linking digital technology, language, and literature is strongly encouraged. The journal seeks discussions on challenges and opportunities brought by the digital era in linguistic and literary studies. Research employing innovative methods, generating transformative evidence, informing practice and policy-making, and taking unique perspectives is particularly valued. The journal aims to expand conversations to cover populations, regions, settings, and subjects that have been overlooked or underrepresented in mainstream academic work.
Submissions on a wide variety of topics are welcomed. Example topics and research strands will be included in future communications. Contributions for the 2025 Issue 1 of DSLL are highly anticipated.
