Journal Guide

Archival Science aims at promoting the development of archival science as an autonomous scientific discipline, targeting primarily on researchers and educators in archival science, and secondarily on everyone else who is professionally interested in recorded information.The scope of the journal is the whole field of recorded process-related information, analysed in terms of form, structure and context.The journal's approach is integrated, interdisciplinary and intercultural: it covers the whole records continuum: it associates with the scientific disciplines dealing with the function of records and the way they are created, preserved and retrieved, the context in which information is generated, managed and used and the social and cultural environment of records creation in different times and places: it acknowledges the impact of different cultures on archival theory, methodology and practice, by taking into account different traditions in various parts of the world, and by promoting the exchange and comparison of concepts, views and attitudes in those traditions.

The Archive for History of Exact Sciences casts light upon the conceptual groundwork of the sciences by analyzing the historical course of mathematical and quantitative thought and the precise theory of nature, embracing as well their connections to experiment in the physical and modern biological sciences. This journal nourishes historical research meeting the standards of the mathematical sciences. Its aim is to give rapid and full publication to writings of exceptional depth, scope, and permanence.

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.

The Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis nourishes the discipline of mechanics as a deductive, mathematical science in the classical tradition and promotes analysis, particularly in the context of application. Its purpose is to give rapid and full publication to research of exceptional moment, depth and permanence.

The peer-reviewed, international Archive for the Psychology of Religion/Archiv für Religionspsychologie is the oldest periodical in the psychology of religion. It is open to all scientific methodologies, quantitative and qualitative.

The Archive of Applied Mechanics aims to disseminate  new results and methods of scientific research in the fields of solid and fluid mechanics, dynamics, vibrations and control. Mechanics of material, fracture and damage mechanics, material modeling in biomechanics, hydrodynamics and fluid-structure interaction are especially emphasized. Included are related disciplines, in a form useful to engineering practice. New analytical, numerical and experimental methods suited to research in the above-mentioned subjects are also welcomed.The Archive of Applied Mechanics was founded as 'Ingenieur-Archiv' in 1929 (Vol. 1) by R. Grammel. The title was changed to Archive of Applied Mechanics in 1991.
