The journal "Algebra and Number Theory" has an inclusive definition that allows it to publish research covering a wide range of subtopics, including algebra and arithmetic geometry. It provides high-quality articles to a broad audience, with a level of rigor that surpasses all but the top four or five mathematics journals. The journal exists in both print and electronic formats, and its policies are set by an editorial board of active mathematicians rather than a profit-driven company, ensuring a focus on the interests of mathematicians. In particular, it advocates for wide dissemination, convenient electronic access, and free use of content, aligning its operations with the sustainability of the journal, with all electronic content becoming freely accessible five years after publication.
