anmath-scope-fit

separate

Use when judging whether a pure-mathematics result clears the Annals of Mathematics importance and originality bar and falls within scope, before investing in framing or submission. Assesses fit and significance; does not evaluate whether the proof is correct (that is the proof's job).

When to use

• judging whether a pure-mathematics result clears the Annals of Mathematics importance and originality bar
• assessing fit and significance
• choosing a journal for a finished or near-finished result
• screening if a result is good but not Annals-level
• evaluating if the area or style of result fits the journal

When not to use

• evaluating whether the proof is correct
• framing or submission
• survey or exposition without major new theorem
• applied or numerical work with no pure-math theorem of lasting interest
