ON-CALL (Australian Journal)

Now merged with CALL-EJ Online (see above)

"In 1999, the CALL electronic journals, CALL-EJ, in Japan, and On-CALL Online, in Australia, joined forces. CALL-EJ, a refereed journal edited by Kazunori Nozawa in Japan, joined On-CALL Online with a view to sharing resources and expertise. The name of the new collaborative journal is CALL-EJ Online. This collaboration will also, we believe, both broaden and strengthen the base of CALL in the Western Pacific area. "
