Aims and Scope

DSLL provides a platform for scholars, researchers, educators, and practitioners to explore and share their insights, discoveries, and innovations in language and literature involving digital technology. DSLL welcomes empirical studies, review articles (including meta-analysis and narrative synthesis), case studies, theoretical articles, and studies on research methods. The scope encompasses studies conducted using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods; studies that are either text- or learning-based; studies investigating the creation, application, or influence of technological tools and instruments; and studies that observe the occurrence of an event or feature or examine the relationships between phenomena. We encourage interdisciplinary research that bridges the gap between digital technology, language, and literature, as well as insightful discussions on the challenges and opportunities posed by the digital era in the realms of linguistic and literary studies. The journal especially welcomes research that uses innovative methods, generates transformative evidence, informs practice and policy making, and adopts unique perspectives. In addition to welcoming research on topics and texts that have long received academic attention, the journal is also interested in expanding the conversation to include populations, regions, settings, and subjects that have been ignored or less represented in mainstream academic work.
