The Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics (JANCL) is a world-leading journal at the intersection of computer science, philosophical logic, and mathematical logic. There is a focus on applications in all topics that deviate from classical or standard logics, although theoretical papers of a high quality will also be considered. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the following: Formal aspects of non-classical formalisms: completeness, decidability, complexity. Applications of non-classical logics to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cognitive science: knowledge representation, automated reasoning, natural language processing. Theoretical computer science: program verification, program synthesis. JANCL therefore encourages original submissions in these and related areas. Proposals for special issues in cutting-edge areas are encouraged, and should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to rigorous and rapid peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via Editorial Manager. Queries regarding submissions can be made by contacting the Editor-in-Chief, whose decision is final.
