Writing Systems Research (WSR) is an innovative new journal launching in 2009, to be published by Oxford Journals. It is concerned with empirical approaches to writing systems based on the analysis of written data and on experiments. It covers a broad range of writing systems from a range of countries.
The editors invite research-based contributions from relevant fields such as applied linguistics, psychology, computing and education.
Writing Systems Research aims to publish work concerned with any issue to do with the analysis, use and acquisition of writing systems. Submissions are welcome from any of the following areas:
1. The linguistic analysis of writing systems at various levels
2. The learning and use of writing systems
3. Neurolinguistics and writing systems
4. The cognitive correlates and consequences of writing systems
5. Writing systems and computer/new media
WSR does not publish pedagogically oriented papers, papers on writing and reading in the sense of ‘academic writing’, or philological or historical research, unless they are of interest to researchers working on the analysis, use and acquisition of writing systems. It insists not only on standards of proof appropriate to psychological research in terms of size, rigour, etc, but also on descriptions of language consonant with linguistics.
