Theory and Practice of Translation

Dear Authors! To clarify your understanding of the specifics of our magazine, we ask you to pay attention to the listed codes of specialties.

The Journal compensates the absence / inadequacy of boundary - Russophone and Translingual Literature studies, there is yet neither code nor an interdisciplinary journal aimed at studying the Russophone and Translingual Literature in general.

Polylingualism and Transcultural Practices (PTP) carries out an active attempt to understand and describe the problems of non-national literatures, but Russophone, Francophone, Anglophone, etc. Literature created by Russophone and bi-, translingual authors whose work clearly does not belong to any of the national literatures (for example, Ch. Aitmatov, Fazil Iskander, Anatoly Kim, etc., who created their texts in Russian, etc.).

Dear Authors! Our magazine has been renamed, not all databases managed to respond quickly to changes. In the list of HAC, we still enter under the old name "Bulletin of RUDN. Educational Issues: Languages and specialty"; in the RSCI we appear under both our names, the first is noted by "Included in the list of HAC", the second is without remarks. The editors are currently removing these technical differences. In the Ministry of Education and Science and RSCI we were assured that everything would be brought in line during March. Please, if you have questions don’t hesitate to contact us.

Your editorial board.

Dear Authors! As you know, the Journals of the RUDN adopted the procedure of double-blind reviewing ranging from two weeks to several months. We understand that this expectation is fraught for you with certain difficulties and inconveniences. Our editorial introduces pre-screening, i.e. preliminary assessment of the manuscript for thematic correspondence to the profile of our journal. You can send by mail a letter with the subject "Prescreening" where you should give a name of the topic, abstract, keywords, and the brief information about the authors.

A considerable part of manuscripts are rejected during the review process precisely because of the thematic discrepancies.

In case of initial approval the editors will advise you on how to upload materials to the site. If your topic is not approved by objective reasons, we will advise you a profile journal. We appreciate your time and are glad to cooperate. Letters with a mark "prescreening" send to the address vestnik_valikova@mail.ru

Sincerely, editors.

Dear Authors, Readers and Experts of our journal! From the third number of the fifteenth volume the journal will be published under the new title: "Polylinguality and Transcultural Practices". We are still striving for scientific understanding of language climate of Russia and the CIS. Bi- and polylingualism, bilingual education, intercultural communication, translingual practices are the priority directions of our editorial board. The new name does not change the story in the root, but paves the course of its further development. Stay with us. Your editorial board.

Dear Authors of our magazine! Please note that from the first issue of our journal in 2018 the style of design of the Russian-language list of literature has changed (block "References"). By the decision of the editorial board the bibliographic list is styled as MLA; you can read detailed examples on the site of the journal in the "Requirements for the Author".

We draw your attention to the fact that you should include links to relevant articles in the academic periodical publications and the number of cited sources should not be less than 15 (the optimal number is - 25 - 36 sources for the manuscript totaling 6 thousand words).

Looking forward to cooperation, editorial board.
