Logic, a cornerstone of philosophy, is the study of reasoning and argumentation. It explores the principles that govern valid inferences, the structure of arguments, and the formal systems that underpin critical thinking. Spanning classical, symbolic, and informal logic, as well as intersections with mathematics, computer science, and linguistics, this field plays a vital role in philosophical inquiry and practical problem-solving. Journals dedicated to logic publish cutting-edge research, foundational studies, and applications of logical systems. The PJIP database covers several journals actively publishing papers in this area.
The PJIP began as a project aimed solely at providing insights into philosophy journals, but given the positive reception the project has received, we’ve since expanded to cover journals in areas beyond philosophy.
Evaluating academic journals is important for researchers, scholars, and institutions aiming to publish work in reputable venues. This guide explores the most widely used metrics for assessing journal quality, including SJR (Scimago Journal Rank), SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper), Impact Factor, CiteScore, Citation Percentage, H-Index, Acceptance Rates, and submission volume. Learn more about each of these metrics and how to use them to choose appropriate journals for your research.
In 2024, the PJIP conducted an ‘Operations’ survey where we asked philosophy journals about the number of submissions received, acceptance rates, R&R rates, comments provided, average length of review for submissions that are desk rejected, average length of review for submissions that are externally reviewed, the average time from acceptance to publication, and information about reviewers (for the 2023 calendar year). The journal’s responses have now been incorporated into the PJIP directory and ranking index.
Philosophy is a broad and sizable subject that spans various topics such as ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics, logic, and the philosophies of science, religion, history, mind, and politics. Often, you’ll find that many ‘generalist’ journals prefer some areas of philosophy over others, but overall, they will publish articles on various contrasting topics.
Ethics is one of the largest sub-disciplines of philosophy. It is a branch of philosophy that deals with moral principles and values. Traditionally, core focus areas include work on ethical theory, applied ethics, moral philosophy, and moral psychology. There is often a close overlap between purely ethical considerations with political, social, and legal philosophy. Likewise, some journals focus on topics within ethics such as bioethics, business ethics, and environmental ethics.
