Ali H. Al-Hoorie

د. علي الحوري

There is increasing discontent with the predominant business model publishers use: The author submits the paper for free, the reviewer works for free, the editor typically works for free, but then the publisher acquires the copyright and keeps the work behind expensive paywalls. This business model is outdated. With the available technology, most of what publishers were needed for is no longer justifiable. The current publishing system is a  rip-off  and is bad for science . 

So how to support open access? One way is to be involved with open access journals, whether by submitting your work to them, reviewing for them, or joining their editorial boards. Another way is to read research published in these journals and cite it in your research (if it is genuinely relevant). If you cite research published in the last two years, the journal impact factor increases.

List of Open Access Journals

The journals below are diamond (also called platinum) open access, which means that neither the author nor the reader pays any fees. Generally, as a quality assurance measure, the journals listed below are indexed in Wed of Science (previously known as ISI), Scopus, and/or Directory of Open Access Journals. Journals indexed in Web of Science (esp. SSCI for applied linguistics; see below for explanation) are perceived to be of higher status and to have higher standards (i.e., harder to publish in). Web of Science has an additional category called Emerging Sources Citation Index, which lists journals provisionally included in Web of Science with no impact factor yet (possibly easier to publish in). 

These journals are related to applied linguistics broadly defined (literature & translation journals are not listed). So you need to make sure that your paper fits the scope of the journal you plan to submit your paper to. These journals also publish in English, though they might additionally publish in other languages, so don't be surprised when you open the website of a journal and find it in a foreign language. Most of these journals have a button to switch to English. 

Finally, the information in this list can change, particularly the indexing. If you spot a problem with the information or would like to suggest adding a journal, please let know. And as I mentioned above, the primary quality assurance measure I used to compile this list is indexing in Web of Science, Scopus, and/or Directory of Open Access Journals. (Don't think I have first-hand experience with every single one of these journals!) So, if you suspect that a journal is engaging in questionable practices, please let me know  to remove it. Having said this, the risk that a diamond access journal is predatory is low (they aren't charging you any money to start with). The bigger risk is that their peer review may not be up to par, allowing shaky research to be published. This is where we as a community should step in and give a hand by agreeing to review to these journals and by offering constructive feedback to manuscript submitters.  

Legend: 

SSCI = Social Sciences Citation Index. Perceived to be the most prestigious. A service by WoS. 

ESCI = Emerging Sources Citation Index. This is like "conditionally accepted."  A service by WoS.

Scopus = A service by Elsevier. Offers a different set of impact factors (e.g., SJR & CiteScore).

In 2017, I published a paper with Joe Vitta listing applied linguistics journals (44 in total only). Our inclusion criterion in that paper was indexing in Scopus and SSCI (not open access status as in the list above). That paper received thousands of reads and a great deal of attention, which suggested to me that there is a need for a list of journals for the field. Some trivia: That paper also listed the impact factors of the journals. At that time, the mean JCR impact factor (WoS) for applied linguistics journals was 1.554 with a standard deviation of 0.76, while the mean SJR impact factor (Scopus) was 0.738 with a standard deviation of 0.65.

This paper aims to analyse the research contributions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the field of applied linguistics (AL) indexed in the Web of Science core collection for the period between 2011 and 2020.

Design/methodology/approach

The author searched key terms in the Social Science Citation Index and Science Citation Index Expanded categories that publish documents in AL. The author compiled the data, classified these documents according to their research focus and investigated different metrics such as keywords analysis, citation analysis, overseas collaboration and productivity over authors, institutions and sources by using VOSviewer and Excel sheet.

Results found that publications in Saudi Arabia have tremendously increased around three times in the years 2016–2020 than before. As unexpected, highly cited researchers, sources and institutions for the social science and arts and humanities disciplines were higher than the scientific disciplines that investigated linguistic issues such as neurology, audiology and computer science. The area of language teaching and learning was the most researched area in which the highly cited author, journals and keywords analysis metrics occurred within its scope. The highly cited articles were those that collaborated with the world contributing authors and acted as corresponding authors.

Originality/value

The study contributes to the body of literature of AL which shares other categories that investigated language as a central issue. The study provides a fine-grained picture about the research productivity of AL in scientific and social science categories in Saudi Arabia.

Bibliometric analysis has established itself as one of the leading approaches to visualizing a comprehensive picture of literature review across different disciplines over the past decade. As detailed in the paper, the researcher aimed to describe an open-source application that uses the R programming language to integrate a web-based interface into Biblioshiny, which performs a comprehensive analysis of the science mapping data. Bibliometrix supports a suggested methodology for conducting bibliometric analyses that can be used to conduct the analyses. This paper uses bibliometric analysis tools to visualize the relationship between published articles in the English language and technology-related publications (CALL, MALL, RALL) from 2013 to 2022. Additionally, the study followed the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. In accordance with PRISMA, 881 documents were analyzed using Bibliometrix from the WoS database. Ideally, to provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of research, two major levels of bibliometric analysis were selected, the intellectual structure and the conceptual structure, to illustrate a general and systematic overview. As a consequence, there is the possibility of gaining insight into the progress of research on specific topics, such as the most influential sources, authors, affiliations, countries, documents, and the scientific network among different constituencies as well as the evolution of research trends in the field. Hopefully, the insights provided in this paper will be useful to researchers from different disciplines who are interested in publishing authentic bibliometric studies.

For years in applied linguistics, the worldwide spread of a dominant standardized English language has been often associated and contextualized with the terms ‘globalization’ and ‘imperialism’ (e.g. Block 2008; Bruthiaux 2008; Canagarajah 1999; Dewey 2007; Kumaravadivelu 2006; Pennycook 2010; Phillipson 2001). In addition, ‘neoliberalism’ has also now been used in analyzing and identifying the shifting dynamics of English language institutional teaching, curricula, and policies (e.g. Benesch 2012; Chun 2009; Flores 2013). Yet the word ‘capitalism’ has not been previously mentioned much in framing and defining the historical and current contexts in which a standardized English lingua franca emerged as the world’s dominant language. Viewed in this light, John O’Regan’s book, Global English and Political Economy is a pioneering work in that it explicitly connects the spread of an English language with the historical rise of capitalism; and specifically, with ‘the political economy of English in relation to capital and the development of the capitalist world-system’ ( O’Regan 2021, p. 3, emphasis in the original). By historically grounding and contextualizing the global reach and dissemination of English with the expansion of the capitalist world system and how both have shaped and influenced one another, O’Regan makes a vital and much-needed contribution to our field that will impact other disciplines as well.
