This venue
Open-access AI journal for complete methods, proofs, and experiments. For NLP-specific depth, TACL is also an option.
Conference extensions need a clear delta. OA fees follow the live site; stay anonymous while drafting, then switch to the official Author Kit after acceptance.
Length
No conference page cap. Write a full journal article, not an 8-page squeeze.
Review
Follow current JAIR instructions for anonymous review. Keep the draft anonymous until camera-ready.
Typesetting
English. Abstract plus keywords/CCS. Switch to the official Author Kit and its bibliography workflow for camera-ready—do not ship the drafting layout.
