#### VIEWS

VIEWS, RID’s digital publication, is dedicated to the interpreting profession.
As a part of RID’s strategic goals, we focus on providing interpreters with
the educational tools they need to excel at their profession. VIEWS is about
inspiring thoughtful discussions among practitioners. With the establishment
of the VIEWS Board of Editors, the featured content in this publication is
peer-reviewed and standardized according to our bilingual review process.
VIEWS is on the leading edge of bilingual publications for English and ASL. In
this way, VIEWS helps to bridge the gap between interpreters and clients and
facilitate equality of language. This publication represents a rich history of
knowledge-sharing in an extremely diverse profession. As an organization, we
value the experiences and expertise of interpreters from every cultural,
linguistic, and educational background. VIEWS seeks to provide information to
researchers and stakeholders about these specialty fields and groups in the
interpreting profession. We aim to explore the interpreter’s role within this
demanding social and political environment by promoting content with complex
layers of experience and meaning.

VIEWS is a bilingual publication in support of the member motion ratified at
the RIDNOLA15 conference (C2015.09). Articles are reviewed when both an ASL
and English version have been submitted. Authors may consult with the VIEWS
Board of Editors about developing bilingual content and are encouraged to seek
colleague or community support for production of their second language if they
feel that would best present their article. The goal of our publication is to
achieve linguistic equivalence, and so the meaning and content of the article
should be equally represented in both written and visual mediums, according to
the author’s signing/writing style and cultural expression, rather than one
version reading as a primary article with an accompanying translation into the
other language.

### JOI.

The Journal of Interpretation (JOI) is under RID Publications, and publishes a
broad scope of scholarly manuscripts, research reports, and practitioner
essays and letters relevant to effective practices in the signed language
interpreting profession. JOI provides a peer-reviewed platform for stimulating
thought and discussion on topics that reflect a broad, interdisciplinary
approach to interpretation and translation. JOI expressly aims to serve as an
international forum for the cross-fertilization of ideas from diverse
theoretical and applied fields, examining signed or spoken language
interpreting and relationships between the two modalities.

#### ____JOI Submissions

Deadline for submissions is March 1st of every year and may be made to any of
the following JOI sections:

**1\. Research and Application:** Original quantitative, qualitative, and
mixed methods research reports must be accompanied by a statement that the
project was undertaken with the understanding and written consent of each
participant and was approved by the local ethics committee. The Editors
reserve the right to reject a paper if there is doubt as to whether
appropriate procedures have been used to collect data with human subjects.
Authors may focus on recent original research, replication of research, or
reviews of research. The RID Research Grant recipient/s will publish research-
in-progress updates and final reports in the JOI.

**2\. Innovative Practices in Interpreting:** JOI welcomes practitioner essays
related to, but not limited to, business practices, interpreting with diverse
populations, ethical decision-making, development and growth of the
profession, mentorship, contemporary issues in interpreting, and
certification.

**3\. Reviews:** Authors will be individually invited by the Editors to review
current resources (e.g., books, media, curricula, services) that are devoted
to interpreting skill development, knowledge expansion, intercultural
competency, and best practices. A review should advance the interpreting
profession by providing a critical and comprehensive evaluation of the
resource.

The value of the JOI is dependent upon the quality of submissions received
from interpreters, translators, interpreter educators, and other related
professionals. This is an excellent opportunity for you to share your depth of
knowledge and expertise with your fellow interpreters and a readership of more
than 15,000 individuals.

#### ____Requirements for Submissions

  * All manuscripts should be **original work**. It is the author’s responsibility to obtain written permission for unpublished or published material quoted in excess of fair use, and for the reprinting of illustrations from unpublished or copyrighted material (for both print and electronic versions).
  * **Style:** American Psychological Association (APA 6th) format for style, notes and references is required for editorial consideration. Manuscripts should be print ready. Please see the APA Publication Manual for proper formatting of headings and titles. Indent paragraphs with the Tab key, not by setting a defined indention for the paragraph in the word processor.
  * **Format:** The manuscript should be in Word format using Times New Roman, 12-point font and double spaced with 1-inch margins. No color should be used in the manuscript. Please do not change fonts, spacing, or margins or use style formatting features at any point in the manuscript except for tables.
  * **Art:** All embedded art, pictures, graphs and charts should be included as separate files in EPS, PDF, TIFF, BMP or JPEG formats, and in grayscale or black and white mode. Bitmap art should be 600 DPI.
  * **Photos:** Photographs and grayscale items should be 300 DPI.
  * **Length:** Manuscripts should be limited to approximately 30 pages, and the Editors will make recommendations for shortening any paper if that appears appropriate without loss of essential content. Shorter papers are welcome. A concise, well-written paper is easier for the Editors and reviewers to evaluate, and this can help to speed up publication. Submissions should be no larger than 2 MB.
  * **Citations:** Only citations referred to in the manuscript should be listed in the references. Thoroughly check all references before submitting to ensure that all sources cited in the text appear in the references and vice versa. Make sure that all references are accurate and complete, including the Digital Object Identifier (doi) when available.
  * **Anonymity:** Authors should NOT place their names on the manuscript and should obscure identifiable citations. Ensure that the manuscript is appropriately blinded and contains no clues to the author’s identity or institutional affiliation outside of the title page. The identifying information of the author that is embedded in the Microsoft Office file should also be removed. Please double-check your manuscript for:

  1. Self citations that are “in press”
  2. Self referential citations that reveal author identity
  3. Institution name
  4. References to institution-specific documents

  * **Title page:** Authors’ names should appear below the title, with the name of each author given in full. When applicable, the university where the work was carried out should be given below the authors’ names. Include full names, addresses, fax numbers, telephone numbers, and email addresses of all authors, designating one as Corresponding Author.
  * **Running Head:** The running head should contain no more than 50 characters (including spaces).
  * **Submission:** All submissions are made from the JOI website (<http://digitalcommons.unf.edu/joi/>). From the site, you select “**Submit Article** ” and follow the prompts. You will need the  _MS WORD document_ of your manuscript ** _without_** a title page, running head or page numbers. The system will automatically add these when needed. Further formatting details are provided below.

When you access the JOI website and proceed to submit your manuscript, you
will be asked for the name of the author(s), their email addresses, as well as
the full title of the manuscript, a shortened title (for use as a running
head), an abstract (which is required), and any author’s notes or
acknowledgements. All of these details are appropriately added to your article
prior to publication but are not provided (other than the abstract) to
reviewers to protect the integrity of the blind-review process.

#### ____Editorial Review Process

Once a manuscript is received, it is reviewed by the Editors to ensure that it
adheres to the editorial standards of the journal. If the manuscript is
determined to meet these standards, it is then sent to a minimum of two
reviewers. JOI follows a double-blind review process that conceals the
identity of both the author and the reviewers. Reviewers are asked to complete
their review within a four-week time period. The Editors’ decision regarding
publication is based on the reports of reviewers. Authors will be informed of
the editorial decision, on average, within 6 weeks of submission. If the
manuscript is a resubmission following revision, authors will be required to
complete a matrix, provided to them by the Editors, that responds to the
concerns of reviewers.

#### ____Editorial Board

If you are interested in reviewing manuscripts as a member of the JOI Board of
Editors, the Editors invite you to submit a letter of interest. Manuscript
reviewers are vital to the publications process. As a reviewer, you will gain
valuable experience in publishing and provide a much-needed service to the
profession. The Editors are particularly interested in encouraging members of
underrepresented groups to participate in this process.

To be selected as a reviewer, you must:

(a) have published articles in peer-reviewed journals. The experience of
publishing provides a reviewer with the basis for preparing a thorough,
objective review.  
(b) be a regular reader of several journals that are most central to the
profession of interpreting. Current knowledge of recent publications provides
a reviewer with the knowledge base to evaluate a new submission within the
context of existing research.  
(c) provide your curriculum vita with a letter of interest. In your letter,
specifically describe your area of expertise.  
(d) be prepared to invest the necessary time to evaluate a manuscript
thoroughly (usually a minimum of four hours) and provide feedback within 4
weeks.
