Applied Corpus Linguistics (ACL)
Journal Descriptions
Applied Corpus Linguistics is a peer‑reviewed scholarly journal established in 2021 and published by Elsevier. It serves as a dedicated outlet for research that applies corpus linguistics methods — including quantitative, qualitative, and computational analyses of textual data — to real‑world research problems. The journal’s mission is to advance the field by showcasing innovative approaches that extend traditional corpus techniques into broader linguistic and interdisciplinary contexts, such as discourse analysis, education, social policy, forensic studies, and digital communication. Its publications include full‑length research articles, technical innovations, discussion papers, and scholarly reviews that emphasise the practical application of corpus data and tools. Through an editorial board drawn from leading scholars in corpus linguistics and applied linguistics, the journal also fosters methodological development, debates about analytic frameworks, and applied case studies. Applied Corpus Linguistics appears three times a year with Electronic ISSN 2666‑7991 and is indexed in databases including Scopus and the Emerging Sources Citation Index of Web of Science. It has international reach with contributors and editors across Europe, Asia, and North America, reflecting the global expansion of corpus‑based research in both academic and professional domains.
