After a hiatus ofÌýmore than 6 years,ÌýColorado Research in Linguistics (CRIL)Ìýhas been relaunched as a peer-reviewedÌýÌýhostedÌýby CU Scholar,Ìýa service ofÌýUniversity Libraries. A student-run working papers periodical,ÌýCRIL has been published at the 91¸£ÀûÉç since 1971. Its purpose is to provide anÌýoutlet for new findings and original works by both graduate students and faculty in the Department of Linguistics and allied CU departments. Today's CRIL gives students the opportunity to participate on both sides of theÌýacademic publishing business (asÌýcontent providers and content producers)Ìýearly in their academicÌýcareers and joinsÌýworld-wide efforts to open access to academic content.ÌýBenefits of CRIL’s new platform include:

• Secure, long-term storage in CU Libraries’Ìý.
• Visibility in University LibrariesÌýÌýand Google Scholar search results.
• PlumX Metrics (e.g. number of abstract views, full text downloads, etc.).
• Availability of readership distribution and usage reports (per article, volume, and entire journal).

The Department sees the newly relaunchedÌýCRIL as an importantÌýoutlet for the work of emerging scholarsÌýand a channel for new research results. It will provideÌýa forum for bothÌýCU students and the sociocultural and cognitive-functional commitments that drive linguistic research programs at CU.ÌýThe Department is sponsoringÌýa CRIL relaunch event onÌýWednesday October 17, 2:00-3:00pm, in Hellems 285Ìý(linguistics conference room). CRIL organizers will release additional information aboutÌýthe relaunch event, a call for Editorial Board applications, and a call for paper submissions.Ìý
