The Reasoner is now widely calling for submissions by all interested in reasoning. All accepted submissions are published in Diamond Open Access (free of all charges), receive their own digital object identifier, and are indexed by DOAJ.
Research Articles
Research articles typically do not exceed 3000 words and report either original results or new perspectives on the existing literature. We welcome research articles on logic, methodology of science, and history of scientific reasoning — all broadly construed to include foundations and applications to society and technology.
Research Articles are peer-reviewed through a double-blind process.
Features
In addition to Research Articles, The Reasoner publishes features that are not peer-reviewed but are subject to the editorial board’s decision. We pimarily publish Features that are of interest to a broad audience, preferably multidisciplinary. Features do not exceed 1000 words and are reasonably self-contained. Currently The Reasoner publishes features in the following Sections:
- An interview with… : an interview preceded by a short editorial-like introduction

- What’s hot in … (regular) columns highlighting exciting developments in your area of reasoning-related research.
- Book reviews on reasoning-related topics, preferably of multidisciplinary interest.
