Transformational Language, Literature, and Technology Overview in Learning considers the following types of scholarly manuscripts in the fields of language application in teaching and the everyday experience of language in education, including related work on literature and technology in learning, provided that they establish a clear and substantive connection with the journal’s focus and scope:

1. Original Scientific Research
Empirical studies reporting original findings based on quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods research. Manuscripts should present a clear research problem, explain the methods used, and discuss the findings and their contribution to knowledge or language teaching practice. Data and analysis must be verifiable (see the Data Availability policy).

2. Scientific Review Articles
Systematic literature reviews, meta-analyses, and other structured reviews, including bibliometric studies. Manuscripts should explain how sources were identified, selected, and analyzed so that the review can be replicated. A review must go beyond summarizing by synthesizing findings, identifying gaps, and proposing directions for future research.

3. Discussion Articles
Articles that present relevant scientific information and discussion on concepts and ideas in language and literature education. Manuscripts must be original and of educational interest to the field, grounded in current literature or evidence, and state a clear contribution. Where possible, they should explain implications for language practitioners and professional practice.

4. Case Studies
Research-based analyses of classrooms, schools, language programs, learning communities, curricula, policies, or language teaching practices. Manuscripts should explain the basis for case selection, data collection, and analysis, and demonstrate implications beyond a purely descriptive account of the case.

5. Methodological Studies
Articles that develop, adapt, compare, or evaluate research methods, analytical techniques, language assessment instruments, measurement scales, or technology-supported instructional approaches relevant to language and literature education. Manuscripts should provide appropriate validation or evaluation and explain the value of the methodological contribution.

Submission requirements

Authors should identify the manuscript type when submitting. Each submission must demonstrate originality, adequate scholarly grounding, a clear contribution, and methods or an analytical approach appropriate to its manuscript type. In addition, all manuscripts must meet the following:

• The manuscript must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration by another journal or publisher.
• Length: no more than 8,000 words or 20 pages, and no fewer than 5 pages, including references, tables, and figures (appendices excluded).
• The Abstract (150 to 250 words) and Keywords must be written in English.
• At least 20 references are required, in line with the Reference rules in the Author Guidelines.
• All declarations (Funding, Conflict of Interest, Author Contributions, Ethical Approval, Informed Consent, Data Availability, and Generative AI) are required (starting from volume 6).

Manuscript preparation

Authors must follow the structure of manuscripts (Title, Authors, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Literature Review, Method, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Declarations and Supplementary Sections, References) and use the latest official Manuscript Template. For review articles, discussion articles, case studies, and methodological studies, the organization may be adapted to the nature of the work. The Method section should describe the review protocol, discussion approach, case design, or validation procedure used, and any necessary departures from the standard research structure should be explained to the editor.
