Algebras and Representation Theory features carefully refereed papers relating, in its broadest sense, to the structure and representation theory of algebras, including Lie algebras and superalgebras, rings of differential operators, group rings and algebras, C*-algebras and Hopf algebras, with particular emphasis on quantum groups.The journal contains high level, significant and original research papers, as well as expository survey papers written by specialists who present the state-of-the-art of well-defined subjects or subdomains. Occasionally, special issues on specific subjects are published as well, the latter allowing specialists and non-specialists to quickly get acquainted with new developments and topics within the field of rings, algebras and their applications.

代數和表示理論的特點是仔細參考了有關代數的結構和表示理論的論文，從廣義上說，包括李代數和超代數，微分算子環，群環和代數，C*-代數和Hopf代數，特別強調量子群。該雜志包含高水平的，重要的和原始的研究論文，以及由專家撰寫的說明性調查論文，誰提出了定義明確的主題或子領域的最新技術。偶爾也會出版關于特定主題的特刊，專刊使專家和非專家能夠迅速熟悉環、代數及其應用領域內的新發展和主題。
