We welcome contributions from any disciplinary background and theoretical standpoint that present research based on the systematic examination of naturally-occurring language in specific settings and contexts using corpus techniques. In order to maximise the accessibility of research across disciplinary boundaries and to foster open and critical analysis, JCaDS places emphasis on the explicit and comprehensive documentation of discovery procedures, and encourages authors to publicly deposit the data and code used in their analysis whenever possible.
