The Boletín de la Academia Peruana de la Lengua (BAPL) is a biannual publication of the Academia Peruana de la Lengua (APL) that accepts and encourages the publication of articles, notes and reviews, especially on literature, linguistics and philology.

Manuscripts must be original and unpublished. The texts received are anonymously assessed by three experts in the specialty, or field of study, before being published. Our arbitration system uses external evaluators.

Articles may deal with a research topic in the areas of theoretical and applied linguistics, philology and literature. Interdisciplinary articles are also accepted where some aspect is related to language, the mind, text or discourse. The content of the articles is the sole responsibility of their authors. We accept empirical studies, reviews, theoretical articles, methodological articles, case studies, bibliographical notes and reviews.

The BAPL is under no circumstances responsible for the opinions expressed, nor for the credibility or authenticity of the research work proposed by the authors in the published manuscripts. Denominations or references, expressed in an article, of a particular subject and product are exclusively the responsibility of the author.

Quotations Shorter than 5 lines will be inside the paragraph enclosed in quotation marks, in normal font and not in italics.

The journal accepts three types of contributions: articles, notes and reviews, which comply with the approach and scope of the Boletín de la Academia Peruana de la Lengua.

Articles present the results of a research project and also constitute a contribution to academic-scientific knowledge and to the understanding of the phenomenon under study. Empirical research has a formal methodology, and its results are rigorously analyzed. The articles are submitted in at least 15 pages and should not exceed 25 pages, including references. Articles preferably cite 10 to 20 academic sources (books, journals, papers, videos, dictionaries, etc.), especially the most reliable and easy to trace or find.

Notes are research studies, reflections or experiences in brief format, as well as presentations of annotated lexical repertoires. The notes are submitted in 3 to 10 pages. They do not have a specific writing structure. Authors must show a solid and coherent exposition or argumentation. Authors may include a bibliography to support their claims. At least two sources are recommended.

Reviews are analyses and evaluations of a scholarly work (single-authored or edited book, journal, dictionary, lexicographic proceedings). They measure the research relevance of the subject. The reviewers evaluate the work published in an academic publishing house that they identify. Reviews are submitted in 2 to 4 pages; if meritorious, they may exceed a few pages, with the evaluation and authorization of the editorial team. Reviewers may include bibliography used to analyze the work, although this section is not mandatory, but preferred, at least two academic sources. In the reviews, the authors explain the organization of the study, structure their review following this organization, explain its contents and make evaluations. Reviewers should incorporate a positive or negative critical view. Reviews should preferably be of texts published during the past 2 years.

* Authors do not always submit their research as an article but as a note and vice versa. Editors may recommend the type of contribution received and help with its orientation and categorization.
