Editor's Message - Dr. Zoran Vujisic
I have immensely enjoyed working as editor-in-chief of GLOSSA over the past two years. It has brought me into contact with colleagues and contributors from across the world, who, together with an international multidisciplinary editorial board, have transformed GLOSSA into a truly global product that has set new milestones in terms of defining, and indeed redefining, paradigms in order to achieve excellence in the area of innovative language research. GLOSSA recognizes the importance of transnational perspectives in language research and seeks participation by researchers and scholars of the international community at all levels of the journal’s production, including policy and guidelines development, manuscript submission and content, editorial and peer review, distribution and readership, etc.
GLOSSA’s excellence depends primarily on the manuscripts submitted. The Editorial Board will continue to require quality and relevance in all research that is published. I trust that exciting and important scientific research and discoveries will continue to be submitted, and pledge to do my utmost to ensure that the review process, which purposes to safeguard the technical quality, reliability, validity, and clarity of the research manuscript, will be fair, rapid, and constructive. High quality editorial and peer reviews provide the best mechanism to ensure that the data published in GLOSSA will lay the appropriate foundations for future research. The editorial team of GLOSSA welcomes diversity in manuscript submissions, including articles with complete descriptions of current original research findings, review articles, tutorials exposing the potential of various tools in language teaching and learning, etc. Hopefully, maintaining a balance between academic data-supported and practical hands-on submissions will assist in inspiring the readership of GLOSSA to explore and discover new multicultural interdisciplinary perspectives related to language and the human experience, and to identify new opportunities in language research. In the words of the most famous of Montenegrins, Petar II Petrovic Njegoš (1813-1851), bishop, prince, and poet: “You are an endless ocean, and I, a boatman without oars; my thoughts, like a dread storm, heap waves on high and drive me onward to descry new land”. I will always be very pleased to hear from you, and to receive articles, comments, and suggestions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Zoran Vujisic
