The Editorial Board of the international peer reviewed LSP Journal is currently considering papers for inclusion in forthcoming 2012-2013 issues.
The LSP Journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality contemporary research into language for special purposes (LSP), professional communication, knowledge management and cognition in theory and practice. Focus is on interlinking research across these fields which are of vital importance to the development, exchange and acceptance of new ideas and products in scientific domains as well as in trade and public services at national and international levels.
