For the Learning of Mathematics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal within the field of mathematics education. Founded by David Wheeler, it first appeared in 1981. Published by the FLM Publishing Association, the journal normally appears in 3 annual issues. The journal is paginated by issue. Amongst mathematics education scholars, the journal is popularly referred to by the acronym FLM.
The scope of the journal is described in the front matter and on the website: "the journal aims to stimulate reflection on mathematics education at all levels, and promote study of its practices and its theories." The journal editors have a history of encouraging essays and other articles that are structured differently from typical research reports in other journals in the field.
In 2012 Törner and Azarello surveyed researchers in the field about the importance of the different journals, and thus ranked FLM with an A (their second highest ranking, below A*).[1] In 2017, Williams and Leatham's ranking of journals in the field placed FLM in the top tier.[2] Later in 2017, Nivens and Otten questioned the high ranking in both of these reviews of the journals, suggesting that the journal more properly belongs in the mid-tier.[3] The journal is indexed by various agencies including SCOPUS[4] and JSTOR[5].
Articles become publicly available on the journal website three years after publication. The most recent articles are behind a paywall.
An open access article giving advice to prospective authors was written by the two most recent editors of the journal in an edited book for early career researchers in mathematics education.[6]
