MLA Directory of Periodicals

The MLA Directory of Periodicals contains all information available on the journals and series on the bibliography's Master List of Periodicals. This information has been gathered by the MLA staff with the cooperation of MLA bibliographers and the editors represented in these listings. Over 5,500 titles are included; of these, over 4,400 are currently indexed. The entries list editorial addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, e-mail addresses, frequency of publication, descriptions of the periodicals' scopes, circulation figures, subscription prices and addresses, advertising information, peer review, and submission guidelines. The directory also provides statistics on how many articles and book reviews the periodicals publish each year, as well as how many are submitted.

Scope

Any regularly published journal available to libraries or universities that publishes articles on language, literature, folklore, or pedagogy with some frequency is eligible for inclusion on the Master List. Any series that includes books on language, literature, folklore, or pedagogy, regardless of the frequency of the series, is also eligible. Download  the Master List of Periodicals.

The directory is available in an electronic format at no charge to subscribers of the MLA International Bibliography who subscribe through all vendors. The MLA Directory of Periodicals cannot be purchased separately from the bibliography. It is updated every six months.
