Asian Englishes : An International Journal of the Sociolinguistics of English in Asia/Pacific serves as a scholarly forum for exploring the diffusion and diversification of English in Asia and the Pacific and examining its influences upon and incorporation into the language practices of individuals and communities associated with the region. The journal provides space for themes including:
Attention to the diversity and complexity characterizing (English) language practices in Asia;
Varieties of and variation in English in Asia, including their divergence & convergence (phonetics, phonology, lexis, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse, rhetoric, multimodal interaction);
(English) language policy, planning and testing, informed by pluralistic paradigms, in Asian contexts;
The negotiation of being, becoming and belonging (identity and community membership) in and transcending Asian contexts;
Trends and conceptual tensions in examining, theorizing, and modelling identity and interaction in and transcending Asia; and
Research into ELT practices and English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) informed by pluralistic paradigms, multilingualism, and translanguaging.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
