該期刊作為一個(gè)平臺(tái)，用于快速有效地傳遞有關(guān)半群理論當(dāng)前研究的信息。該期刊的覆蓋范圍包括：代數(shù)半群，拓?fù)浒肴?，部分有序半群，半群的度量和半群的調(diào)和分析，變換半群，算子的半群，以及半群理論應(yīng)用于其他學(xué)科，如環(huán)理論，范疇論，自動(dòng)機(jī)，和邏輯。Semigroup FORUM提供調(diào)查和研究文章。它還包含研究公告，描述新結(jié)果（大多沒有證據(jù)），出現(xiàn)在其他地方的全長(zhǎng)論文以及簡(jiǎn)短筆記，其中詳細(xì)說明了諸如新證據(jù)，已知事實(shí)的重要概括，未解決問題的評(píng)論和歷史評(píng)論等信息。此外，期刊還包含研究問題;關(guān)于半群理論的會(huì)議，研討會(huì)和專題討論會(huì)的公告;摘要和書目項(xiàng)目;以及感興趣的書籍，論文和講義的列表。

This journal serves as a platform for the speedy and efficient transmission of information on current research in semigroup theory. Coverage in the journal includes: algebraic semigroups, topological semigroups, partially ordered semigroups, semigroups of measures and harmonic analysis on semigroups, transformation semigroups, semigroups of operators, and applications of semigroup theory to other disciplines such as ring theory, category theory, automata, and logic.Semigroup Forum features survey and research articles. It also contains research announcements, which describe new results, mostly without proofs, of full length papers appearing elsewhere as well as short notes, which detail such information as new proofs, significant generalizations of known facts, comments on unsolved problems, and historical remarks. In addition, the journal contains research problems; announcements of conferences, seminars, and symposia on semigroup theory; abstracts and bibliographical items; as well as listings of books, papers, and lecture notes of interest.
