anmath-scope-fit

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).

# Scope and Significance Fit (anmath-scope-fit)

## When to trigger

- You have a finished or near-finished result and are choosing a journal
- You suspect the result may be "good but not Annals-level"
- A coauthor argues for Annals and you want an honest internal screen first
- You are unsure whether the area or style of result fits the journal

## The Annals bar (durable norms — verify specifics officially)

Annals of Mathematics publishes **major, deep results of lasting importance across all
of pure mathematics**. It is published by the Department of Mathematics at Princeton
University and the Institute for Advanced Study and is among the most selective journals
