The Editorial Board is comprised entirely of members from Mathematical Logic Quarterly (MLQ), who have joined forces on the newly re-established ZML. Prof. Haskell, who served as Managing Editor of MLQ from 2019-2024, has returned to help steer the new journal forward by restoring its historical values of open access and open science.

“I am extremely honoured to be named as Managing Editor of the new journal Zeitschrift für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik. ZML returns to the tradition of mathematics research journals being run by academics for the purpose of making scientific knowledge available to everyone. It used to be very expensive to do mathematical typesetting, but modern publishing tools have lowered costs, allowing mathematicians to return to focusing on the content,” she said.

While this iteration of the journal may be new, it is based on a journal of the same name that was created in the German Democratic Republic in 1955. By 1993, and in a recently re-unified Germany, the journal adopted the name Mathematical Logic Quarterly (MLQ) to reflect the more international scope of an Editorial Board reopened to the world. That name persisted through the journal’s acquisition by publisher Wiley in 1999.

In the ensuing 25 years, MLQ has maintained a focus on general logic, model theory, recursion theory, set theory, proof theory and constructive mathematics, algebraic logic, nonstandard models, and logical aspects of theoretical computer science. It is a journal of high standing.

The new ZML will operate under the “diamond open access” model, in which neither author nor reader pays, and the entire production is supported by the academic community.
