 Main articles have an upper length limit of 17000 words, including everything (abstract, main text, footnotes, any appendices) except the list of references. Authors are required to state this word count with their submission – please use the Monterey PDF word count service (http://www.montereylanguages.com/pdf-word-count-online-free-tool.html) – and to make sure that the bibliography starts a new page in the submitted pdf document. (Please note that these guidelines have been subject to several revisions and that papers published in earlier years may be significantly longer than we now target.)
 
-Material hosted in a supplementary file does not count towards the limit. Such material will typically be experimental stimuli and/or data, which we strongly encourage authors to include with their submissions. As to what kind of material can be hosted in a supplementary file, see the <a href="https://www.linguisticsociety.org/sites/default/files/Supplemental%20Materials%20Guide%20for%20LSA%20Pubs_0.pdf">Guidelines for Supplementary Materials Appearing in LSA Publications</a>. In short, what characterizes such materials is that they serve to underpin findings and results rather than analyses and proposals. One consequence is that a file of supplementary materials will not need to contain more than a bare minimum of explanatory prose. Another is that while reviewers must review both the main manuscript and supplementary materials, the latter will not add significantly to their workload. Finally, from a reader's perspective, it will be possible to understand and judge an article on its merits without consulting the supplementary file(s).

     5.  There is a growing sensitivity to differences between speech and written language,[^1] and to the significance of prosody. Where prosody is established to be significant, it is becoming common for data to be presented along with some form of prosodic transcription.
     6.  Semantics and Pragmatics are undoubtedly the areas of linguistics which most freely import new formal tools from mathematics, computer science, philosophical logic, and elsewhere. A recent example is the importation of Decision Theory and Game Theory from psychology and economics.

As a rule, examples from languages other than English should be supplied with interlinear glosses in addition to colloquial translations. These glosses can vary in detail (e.g., word-by-word vs. morpheme-by-morpheme), depending on the phenomenon under investigation.

Information as to the source of data and judgments may be specified in footnotes by each example, in a single summary footnote near the beginning of the paper, or in the main text in case the source of the data is of particular relevance to the claims being made. We strongly encourage authors to consider making data publicly available, for example in the form of text or data files that can be hosted on the site.*

 There is an author's checklist that guides the authors through the steps involved in asking the journal to consider their article. All communication between the authors and the journal will be via the website and email. There is always a designated "shepherding" editor that will handle the peer review process and communication with the author. At any point during the process, we welcome personal messages to the editor in charge of a submission. Authors can also contact the editors-in-chief at any time at <[email protected]>.
 
-When an article is submitted to S&P, we strongly encourage authors to also deposit their manuscript to the [Semantics Archive](http://semanticsarchive.net) so as to allow the research community to read the pre-publication version and to give feedback on the work to the author.[^2] In the future, we will look into further ways of facilitating this kind of early feedback from the community.

 Once the final typeset version of an article has been produced by the journal's staff, it will immediately be published at the journal's website in PDF format. Thus, there is no delay at all, such as waiting for other articles to be bundled in an issue. This is unlike the "online first" publication of some of the commercial journals (where the online version has limited and provisional metadata, such as non-final page numbering).
 
-The journal publishes each article as it is ready. To make this procedure compatible with existing bibliographic practice, we essentially treat each article as its own issue. The page numbering for each article will start at 1. Since there will thus not be sequential page numbering of all the article's in a year's volume, we notate the issue number and the page number at the bottom of each page. So, the 17th page of the 3rd article in the first volume will have the page number 3:17. This is essentially the scheme introduced by the ACM recently.[^3]

CrossRef will maintain the integrity of the link and ensure that it will always point to the canonical version of the article, no matter what behind the scenes moves and changes in technology may occur.[^5] In addition, all reference lists at the end of articles will list DOIs for any of the cited works that have one, so that readers can use those DOIs to access cited works in the most convenient way possible.

 All work in S&P is immediately indexed on Google Scholar. Publication notices are published via email to subscribers, postings on social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google+), quarterly via notices on the [LinguistList](http://www.linguistlist.org/) email list. Starting with the 2011 volume, S&P has been indexed in the MLA bibliography. We are actively working on indexing by other services and impact rankings. As a relatively new journal (an e-journal to boot), S&P has to be diligent in establishing its reputation. We believe that S&P is now firmly to be counted as one of the top journals in our field.
