The ComS' is the guardian of editorial policy, scientific advisor to the Editorial Team, without operational responsibility.  

It contributes to Glossa's vision of speech and language therapy research.

It assists the editorial team in making editorial policy choices, proposes experts for the reading committee, arbitrates any disputes in the evaluation process, and contributes to the dissemination of published articles to the appropriate authorities.  

Objectives driven by a vision  

  • Take account of the international landscape to enrich knowledge and professional practices in speech-language pathology, in line with the reference frameworks available worldwide;
  • Strengthen the position of speech-language pathology in a dynamic environment fostered by all forms of research (fundamental, applied, translational, economic, clinical).
  • Take a step back to consider the needs of populations in terms of language and communication care, and the contributions of research to meeting them.
  • Convene the committee in the event of serious breaches of the publication procedure.
