Author Guidelines
We publish research in logic, philosophy of logic and/or mathematics, argumentation theory, and analytic philosophy, broadly conceived.
We welcome submission of papers in English, French, German or Dutch, with an approximate length of 15 to 20 pages. Occasionally, longer pieces of exceptional significance are considered as well.
Submission Preparation
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines:
- The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
- The submission file is a pdf-file.
- The following minimal formatting requirements are met:
- The manuscript has a title.

Review Procedure
Following an initial vetting by the editorial board, each submission is evaluated by one or two external referees. Depending on whether the author identity is clear from the manuscript, a double-blind or single blind peer review procedure will be followed.
Review procedure: Double-blind
- Identity transparency: Double anonymized: Reviewer identity is not made visible to author, author identity is not made visible to reviewer, reviewer and author identity is visible to (decision-making) editor
- Reviewer interacts with: Editor: Communication between editor and reviewer (traditional model). Also known as 'independent review'. Identities can be anonymized or visible.
- Review information published: None.
Review procedure: Single-blind
- Identity transparency: Single anonymized: Reviewer identity is not made visible to author, author identity is visible to reviewer, reviewer and author identity is visible to (decision-making) editor
- Reviewer interacts with: Editor: Communication between editor and reviewer (traditional model). Also known as 'independent review'. Identities can be anonymized or visible.
- Review information published: None.
(We use the terminology of the NISO/STM's Working Group on Peer Review Terminology.)
Publication Preparation
If the submission is accepted for publication, the author or authors have to send the source file to the editors via e-mail. If the source file is a TeX-file, then the authors have to use the LaTeX template. If the double-blind peer review procedure was followed, the author or authors have to add their name(s), affiliation(s) and e-mail address (of the corresponding author).
