Logic Programming journal

Journal of Logic Programming (JLP), founded by Alan Robinson and published by Elsevier Science... eventually adopted as the official journal of the ALP. During the term of Krzysztof Apt (1997 to 2001), the complete Editorial Board of the JLP collectively resigned and founded a new journal, Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP) with the Cambridge University Press. TPLP is substantially less expensive than the JLP and is now the official journal of the ALP.

statement of support (8 Oct 2001)

While these fees provide access for institutions and individuals who can afford them, we feel that they also have the effect of limiting contact between the current machine learning community and the potentially much larger community of researchers worldwide whose participation in our field should be the fruit of the modern Internet.

None of the revenue stream from the journal makes its way back to authors, and in this context authors should expect a particularly favorable return on their intellectual contribution---they should expect a service that maximizes the distribution of their work.
