EDITORIAL POLICY: INFORMAL LOGIC publishes articles in reasoning and argu-
mentation theory and practice. 

 Primary criteria for articles with a theoretical focus. (1) The article advances 
the dialectic or constitutes an interesting comment on it: it presents a cogent argu-
ment, objection, interpretation or position that is an advance in relation to the 
background of issues and controversies on the topic; or it casts the issue ad-
dressed in a new and  worthwhile light. (2) The article makes explicit reference to the 
pertinent literature on its topic, and it discharges the burden of proof imposed by 
that scholarship. 

Primary criteria for acceptance of articles devoted to the teaching of informal 
logic, critical thinking or argumentation include: originality; utility; timeliness; 
and evidence of the effectiveness of the methods, materials, technologies, etc., 
proposed. 

The standard criteria for scholarly publication—topical fit with the subjects 
covered in the journal; adequacy of coverage to the issue addressed;  clarity, 
organization and literateness of the prose; conceptual clarity and cogency of 
argumentation—apply ceteris paribus to all articles, notes and reviews.
