I know that CS journals usually accept extended version of a conference paper with some, say 10%, new contents. But is it still true for non-CS journals?

@HansHüttel That is certainly a possibility, but I find it curious submitting a paper to a CS conference and then submitting an extended version to a non-CS journal.– Massimo OrtolanoDec 4, 2017 at 22:07

Is there any legal restrictions that you signed as part of your submission and acceptance to the conference?– BluebirdDec 5, 2017 at 5:59

I think it would be a better strategy to submit the extended version to a CS journal and a different approach of the problem with a different point of view (not just 10% extension) to the non-CS journal.
For the reader of the non-CS journal having a non-CS way of expressing the problem/solution would be more beneficial. For the reader that sees both submissions there will not be a feeling of simply trying to get more publications with the same paper (not meaning to be rude or anything!).
Most journals expect at least 30% difference from any previous published version of your work. Some CS journals do not require such a change, or do not enforce it. In other journals this requirement may be strictly enforced or less strictly — this depends on the editor and the specific journal.
