The Journal of Symbolic Logic publishes research in mathematical logic and its applications of the highest quality. Submissions are expected to exhibit innovation and not merely be minor variations on established work. They should also be of interest to a broad audience.

The Journal publishes only original papers that have not been published previously, and are not submitted for publication elsewhere. Full versions of important papers that have previously been published in conference proceedings are eligible for publication, provided that the submitted paper extends the pre-publication in a significant way. In such cases, when authors submit a paper for publication in the JSL they are required to provide a precise reference to the pre-publication and to explain how the submission differs from the conference version.
