Arbor, revista general del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas sobre ciencia, pensamiento y cultura, toma su nombre del árbol de la ciencia o Arbor Scientiae que utilizó Ramón Llull para representar las diferentes ramas del saber. Es una revista transdisciplinar, que publica trabajos originales de investigación (artículos, ensayos o documentos) y reseñas sobre aspectos del conocimiento que ayuden a pensar y comprender el mundo en su complejidad y en diálogo con el presente. Pensamiento, ciencia y cultura, concebidos en Arbor como ámbitos híbridos e interconectados, son los tres grandes dominios que definen sus contenidos.
