《符號邏輯》雜志發表了數學邏輯及其應用的最高質量的研究。論文被期望展現創新，而不僅僅是對既定作品的微小變化。它們也應該引起廣大讀者的興趣。自1936年創辦以來，JSL一直是世界領先的數理邏輯期刊。它的聲望來自它的長期存在和提交的標準——再加上審查的標準，所有這些都有助于它比任何其他邏輯學期刊獲得更多的引用。

The Journal of Symbolic Logic publishes research in mathematical logic and its applications of the highest quality. Papers are expected to exhibit innovation and not merely be minor variations on established work. They should also be of interest to a broad audience. JSL has been, since its establishment in 1936, the leading journal in the world devoted to mathematical logic. Its prestige derives from its longevity and from the standard of submissions -- which, combined with the standards of reviewing, all contribute to the fact that it receives more citations than any other journal in logic.
