Scope
Aims, scope and focus
ARCHIVE FOR MATHEMATICAL LOGIC is published by Springer Berlin Heidelberg and is in Zone 4 of Mathematics in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Advanced Topology and Set Theory, Computability, Logic, AI Algorithms and Advanced Algebra and Logic, together about 47.4% of its articles. Its main subfields are Computational Theory and Mathematics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The journal publishes research papers and occasionally surveys or expositions on mathematical logic. Contributions are also welcomed from other related areas, such as theoretical computer science or philosophy, as long as the methods of mathematical logic play a significant role. The journal therefore addresses logicians and mathematicians, computer scientists, and philosophers who are interested in the applications of mathematical logic in their own field, as well as its interactions with other areas of research.
