《哲學學報》延續(xù)了其具有影響力的科學出版的悠久歷史，出版高質(zhì)量的主題期刊，涵蓋物理、數(shù)學和工程科學領域當前重要和普遍感興趣的主題，由權威機構客座編輯，包括著名研究人員的新研究、評論和意見。每個問題的目的是創(chuàng)造一個原始的和權威的綜合，通常連接傳統(tǒng)學科，展示當前的發(fā)展，并為未來的研究、應用和政策決策提供基礎。這些問題要么是基于國際知名的英國皇家學會(Royal Society)的討論會議，要么是雜志委托或客座編輯提出的獨立主題。所有投稿均被邀請，雜志不接受未經(jīng)邀請的獨立論文。所有文章都經(jīng)過同行評審，并按照最高標準進行編輯。

Each issue aims to create an original and authoritative synthesis, often bridging traditional disciplines, which showcases current developments and provides a foundation for future research, applications and policy decisions.Issues are either based on the internationally acclaimed Royal Society Discussion Meetings or are stand-alone topics commissioned by the journal or proposed by the guest editors. All contributions are invited and the journal does not accept unsolicited stand-alone papers. All articles are peer reviewed and edited to the highest standards.
