Commercial Status of
Pacific Linguistics
Pacific Linguistics does not
aim to make (and does not make) a profit. Nonethless, we try
to maintain a high publishing standard. These motives determine
much in the way that we go about our publishing activities.
For example, we do not pay royalties to authors, and we ask
authors not to submit a manuscript to another publisher at
the same time as it is submitted to us, as this may result
in our expending money on a manuscript that someone else publishes.
We also ask authors to participate actively in the process
of preparing the manuscript for publication (see our pages
for authors).
We are financed largely from
the sales of our books to libraries and individuals throughout
the world, with some assistance from the Department of Linguistics
in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies at The
Australian National University, and, since 2002, from the
Australian Linguistic Society.
The Editorial
Board of Pacific Linguistics is made up of the academic
staff of the School's
Department of Linguistics, together with a representative
of the Australian Linguistic Society.
