TACL - Changes to the Review Process (Effective May 1, 2024)
April 24, 2024
To streamline the paper revision process, TACL is implementing a new procedure focusing on major reviewer comments. Action editors will filter and prioritize these comments, guiding authors to make essential revisions. For original submissions, papers unlikely to meet TACL standards after implementing the mandatory revisions within three months, are rejected outright. For resubmissions, properly addressing mandatory revisions leads to acceptance (a) or minor revisions (b), while failure to do so results in rejection (d).
Here is the full rationale:
TACL has always emphasized the balance of high quality review and a fast cycle reviewing process. The aim of this new procedure is to optimize the journal policy on one of the most challenging reviewing phases, the phase of correcting a paper after getting a revise and resubmit (c) recommendation.

New TACL co-Editors-in-Chief
September 14, 2022
Roi Reichart and Asli Celikyilmaz have been selected to be co-Editors-in-Chief (co-EiCs) of TACL, which will bring the number of co-EiCs to three (along with Ani Nenkova) when Brian Roark finishes his term at the end of 2022. Congratulations to Roi and Asli!
The temporary expansion to three co-EiCs will last until the end of Ani Nenkova's term in 2024, when TACL will revert to its standard 2 co-EiCs. The expansion is in support of initiatives that require effort beyond the regular operation of the journal.
