	CL, in consultation with the ACL Exec, has worked with AAAI to establish an arrangement under which eligible accepted CL papers may be additionally presented at AAAI conferences. In principle, this may include papers that have already been presented, or will be presented, at an ACL venue, as well as CL papers that are extensions of conference papers and were therefore not eligible for presentation again at ACL venues. Final decisions are subject to AAAI’s discretion.

Submissions to the journal grew by 48% in 2025, and this growth has continued into 2026.

At the same time, we have continued to improve the editorial process, including further reducing the time required for desk-rejection decisions. Time is shown in days. The “year” is when the first decision was made, which may not be the year in which the paper was submitted.

==Rising Impact==

We are also pleased to share that the latest Impact Factor for Computational Linguistics is 13.4, marking the first time in the journal’s history that it has exceeded 10.

This ranks Computational Linguistics:

*13 out of 210 journals in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence
*7 out of 185 in Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications
*1 out of 312 in Linguistics

==CL Publicity Editor==

We have also established a new position within the CL editorial office: CL Publicity Editor, who will manage CL’s overall social presence. We are delighted to welcome Sarvnaz Karimi, ACL Publicity Director, as the inaugural Publicity Editor for Computational Linguistics.

==CL Awards==

This year, CL launched two new awards: the [[CL High Impact Paper Award]] and the [[CL Distinguished Reviewer Award]]. Further details will be made available through dedicated wiki pages. The inaugural recipients of these awards will be announced during ACL 2026.

==Dissertation Award==

CL also continued the Dissertation Award, now in its second year and organized in collaboration with the ACL Executive Committee. We are grateful to all nominators, participants, and colleagues who helped support this initiative. As part of the award, the winning dissertation will be adapted for publication in Computational Linguistics.

==Special Issue==

CL also approved a Special Issue on the Ethics of NLP and CL, with guest editors listed below. More information can be found here: https://submissions.cljournal.org/index.php/cljournal/announcement/view/18
