ELLITE: English Language, Literature, and Teaching Journal welcomes various types of manuscripts, all of which must strictly adhere to the ethical standards outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to ensure the integrity of the scholarly record (COPE Core Practices). The journal accepts the following manuscript types, each carrying specific ethical obligations expected from the authors and reviewers.

This manuscript type reports on original empirical studies or comprehensive theoretical explorations in the fields of English language, literature, and teaching. Authors submitting original research must guarantee that the data presented are authentic and provide an accurate account of the work performed, as any data fabrication or falsification constitutes a serious ethical breach (COPE Data and Reproducibility). Furthermore, authors must ensure they have clearly detailed their research methodology to allow for transparent scientific evaluation, recognizing that publishing unreliable or manipulated data can lead to formal investigations and subsequent immediate retractions (COPE Retraction Guidelines).

Review articles should provide a comprehensive, balanced, and objective synthesis of existing literature within the scope of language, literature, and teaching. Authors of review articles must rigorously cite all prior works and appropriately quote sources to prevent any form of plagiarism or inappropriate text recycling, which COPE explicitly condemns (COPE Position on Text Recycling). In cases where authors incorporate or summarize their own previously published ideas in a literature review, they must transparently reference their original works to avoid any allegations of redundant or duplicate publication (COPE Flowcharts: Redundant/Duplicate Publication).

These are concise manuscripts reporting preliminary research findings, new teaching methodologies, or specific classroom implementations that do not require a full-length article. Regardless of the manuscript's brief length or scope, strict authorship criteria must be observed, ensuring that all listed authors have made substantial contributions to the conception or execution of the work and have approved the final version (COPE Discussion Document: Authorship). Any potential disputes regarding who qualifies as an author, or any post-submission requests to add or remove authors in these brief reports, will be systematically managed following COPE's established protocols to ensure fair attribution (COPE: Recognising Authorship Problems).

Book reviews offer critical, scholarly evaluations of recently published academic books relevant to English literature, linguistics, or language education. To maintain an objective critique and an unbiased evaluation process, authors submitting book reviews must proactively declare any competing interests, such as personal affiliations or financial relationships with the reviewed book's author or publisher (COPE Topic: Competing Interests). Should any undeclared conflicts of interest be discovered after the book review is published, the journal is obligated to take necessary corrective actions to preserve transparency, which may include publishing an editorial expression of concern or an erratum (COPE Flowcharts: Undeclared Conflict of Interest).
