A better way to publish experimental pragmatics research
At the Journal of Experimental Pragmatics, we believe that openness drives change.
Open from preprint to publication
Our open science approach includes immediate preprint publication, transparent peer review and fully accessible professionally typeset and copyedited articles – all published under the CC BY licence.
Transparent, community-led peer review
Our Voluntary Action Editor (VAE) model puts peer review in the hands of active researchers.
- Reviews and decisions are transparent
- Editorial responsibility is visible and accountable
- Feedback is designed to strengthen your work, not delay it.
Rigorous, constructive and efficient
Benefit from expert review that understands both theory and experimental methods, delivered with clarity and without unnecessary delay.
A journal owned by its research community
This is a journal shaped by experimental pragmatics researchers, not commercial priorities. Publishing here means contributing to a shared effort to define and grow the field.
No fees, no barriers
Publishing should not depend on funding. The Journal of Experimental Pragmatics is Diamond Open Access:
- No article processing charges
- No reader paywalls
- Global access for your work
Experimental pragmatics has grown into a global, interdisciplinary research area. Built by researchers in the XPrag and wider experimental pragmatics community, the Journal of Experimental Pragmatics provides the dedicated home it has been building toward and brings together theory-driven experimentation into a single, visible and rigorous venue.
