rEFLections Are Now in Q1!
2026-06-12
Today marks a special day for our editorial team as we have finally reached a major milestone most of us have been chasing our entire careers. We could not be more proud to announce that we are now in Scopus Q1 for Language and Linguistics. We want to take this opportunity to deeply thank all of our dear authors, contributors, reviewers and of course, our readers for making this possible. Your ceaseless devotion to research quality, rigor and innovation is what fuels us and will continue to do so for years to come. Kudos to all of you, this achievement is as much as yours as it is ours!
On a more serious note, though we dread the abrupt tonal shift in this announcement, we think it is important that we also address an issue that has been plaguing our inboxes as of late. Several authors continue to CC the entire editorial team in their emails despite multiple reminders, and in recent developments, have even been rather rude in their correspondence (via uncivil insults and boorish profanities). Since the latter presents an unprecedented case for us, we feel it necessary to establish ground rules for future incidences:
- Please email your enquiries to only Thanis Tangkitjaroenkun and Saranya Saranchat. From now on, all emails that CC the entire editorial team (thereby violating this rule) will be ignored by default.
- Please write to us politely. For the sake of academic integrity, we ask that authors refrain from embarrassing themselves and their institutions by hurling insults at the journal or the chief editor. We understand the frustrations that can arise during the publication process, but this should not warrant a complete abandonment of civil manners and common courtesy, especially as academics. From now on, any and all emails that violate these shared ethics will be reported directly to the authors' respective institutions. We refuse to tolerate verbal abuse and reserve the right to take immediate action against it, regardless of the situation.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. Now, having thoroughly reviewed our inbox policies, we would like to return to a lighter note and thank everyone once again for helping us achieve our Q1 milestone. We are incredibly excited about this next chapter for our journal and eagerly look forward to working with our authors to push the boundaries of research together. Cheers!
