System is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering the applications of educational technology and applied linguistics to problems of foreign language teaching and learning. It was established in 1973 and has been published by Elsevier since 1991[1]. Until 2013, System published four issues per year. In 2014, it published six issues, and since 2015 it has published eight issues per year. Since October 2019 (volume 85), articles have been published electronically only, with article number identifiers in place of page numbers.

## Impact[edit]

The journal is ranked 2nd in the Google Scholar category Humanities, Literature & Arts.[2] According to the Journal Citation Reports, in 2023 the journal had an impact factor of 4.9, ranking it 3rd out of 297 (5th out of 194 in 2022) journals in the category "Linguistics"[3] and 15th out of 756 (16th out of 269 in 2022) journals in the category "Education & Educational Research".[4] Given the popularity of System as an academic research journal among second/foreign language researchers, the number of papers accepted and finally published is more than 140 per year.
