The Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (JSLHR) is published bimonthly (February, April, June, August, October, and December) and pertains broadly to studies of the processes and disorders of hearing, language, and speech and to the diagnosis and treatment of such disorders. Articles may take any of the following forms: reports of original research, including single-study experiments; theoretical, tutorial, or review pieces; research notes; and letters to the editor.
Prior to 1991, ASHA published the Journal of Speech and Hearing Research and the Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders. These titles were merged in 1991 under the Journal of Speech and Hearing Research title. Later, the word Language was added to more accurately reflect the areas of research in the discipline.
As of September 2008, the circulation for JSLHR was 18,816. Beginning January 1, 2010, all ASHA journals will be online-only. FAQs for ASHA members are now available.
The 2008 impact factor is 1.583. The rank in the Linguistics category is 13 of 68 titles. The rank in the Rehabilitation category is 10 of 51 titles.
An Editor’s Award is presented yearly to each JSLHR editor's choice of the most meritorious single articles appearing in each of the three journal sections during the preceding calendar year. A compilation [PDF] of all awardees since 1970 for all the ASHA journals is now available.
The Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (JSLHR) annually publishes summary statistics of acceptance/rejection rates and manuscript processing times. These summary statistics provide data on acceptance/rejection rates, frequently used by tenure/promotion committees, as well as average manuscript processing times, often of interest to contributing authors.
Table 1 shows the rates of acceptance and rejection for manuscripts receiving a final decision in 2005 through 2007, regardless of the year the manuscript was submitted originally. The Speech, Language, and Hearing sections of the journal are reported separately. Accepted manuscripts are those for which a final decision to accept has been made. Rejected manuscripts are those judged unsuitable for publication and for which no further revision or resubmission has been requested.
Table 1. Accept/reject rate for decisions made 2005-2007.
| Decision | Speech | Language | Hearing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accept | 50% | 48% | 67% |
| Reject | 50% | 52% | 33% |
Figure 1 presents data for manuscripts that had completed the review process as of year-end 2007. The submission-to-decision interval is calculated from the date the editor's office receives the new or revised manuscript to the date a decision is made on the manuscript.
