It aims to publish high-quality research that explores various methodologies and applications of NLP, contributing to both theoretical and practical advancements in the discipline.
  1. Natural Language Processing Methodologies:
    The journal encompasses a wide range of NLP methodologies, including machine learning, deep learning, and rule-based approaches, focusing on their application to language analysis, understanding, and generation.
  2. Multilingual and Cross-Linguistic Studies:
    It emphasizes multilingual and cross-linguistic research, particularly studies involving Spanish, Basque, Catalan, and other languages, addressing challenges in language processing and translation.
  3. Real-World Applications:
    Research published in the journal often highlights practical applications of NLP in various domains, such as healthcare, media, and education, showcasing the real-world impact of language processing technologies.
  4. Social and Ethical Implications:
    The journal also addresses the social and ethical implications of NLP technologies, including studies on hate speech detection, toxicity in online comments, and the impact of AI on language and communication.
  5. Corpus Development and Annotation:
    A significant focus is placed on the development of annotated corpora and resources that support various NLP tasks, contributing to the advancement of language technology.
The journal is witnessing the emergence of several innovative themes that reflect current trends in natural language processing research. These themes indicate a dynamic evolution in the field, focusing on complex applications and interdisciplinary approaches.
  1. Transformer-Based Models and Deep Learning:
    There is a surge in research utilizing transformer-based models and deep learning techniques for various NLP tasks, such as translation, classification, and sentiment analysis, showcasing the advancements and effectiveness of these methodologies.
  2. Hate Speech and Toxicity Detection:
    The detection and analysis of hate speech and toxic comments have become prominent themes, reflecting societal concerns and the need for responsible language technologies in online environments.
  3. Ethical Considerations in NLP:
    Emerging discussions around the ethical implications of NLP technologies, such as bias detection, data privacy, and the societal impact of AI, indicate a growing awareness and responsibility within the research community.
  4. Clinical Text Processing:
    Research focusing on the processing of clinical texts, including tasks like medical report simplification and patient data analysis, is gaining traction, emphasizing the importance of NLP in healthcare.
  5. Multilingual and Cross-Cultural Applications:
    The trend toward multilingual NLP applications is increasing, with studies examining code-switching, dialectal variations, and the processing of low-resource languages, highlighting the importance of inclusivity in language technologies.

Declining or Waning

While the journal continues to thrive in many areas, some themes appear to be losing prominence as the focus of research evolves. The following are notable trends of declining scopes in recent publications.
  1. Rule-Based Approaches in NLP:
    There is a noticeable decline in the emphasis on traditional rule-based approaches to NLP, as the field increasingly shifts towards machine learning and deep learning techniques, particularly transformer-based models.
  2. General Sentiment Analysis:
    The focus on generic sentiment analysis tasks has waned, with more specialized applications emerging, such as sentiment analysis in specific domains like healthcare or tourism.
  3. Basic Language Generation Tasks:
    Basic tasks in language generation, such as simple text summarization or basic translation, are becoming less frequent in favor of more complex and context-aware generation tasks, reflecting a shift towards higher-level applications.
  4. Local Context Analysis:
    Research that focuses on local or micro-level linguistic phenomena (e.g., individual word analysis) is decreasing, as there is a growing interest in broader discourse analysis and understanding contextual relationships in larger text structures.
