1 year since the passing of Tim McNamara, whose paradigm shifting work, mentorship & humanity continue to inspire. In this Virtual Special Issue, John Pill Kellie Frost & Susy Macqueen revisit Tim's work published in Language Testing--a fitting tribute: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

.Language Testing has a new #ReviewerResources page. More to come. For now, access 3 #TransparentReviews from 2024 Special Issue, incl. anonymized peer review reports, author response to reviewer comments & editorial decisioning, w/consent from all parties journals.sagepub.com/page/ltj/revie…
