Arbor is the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas's general journal on science, thought and culture. Its name comes from the tree of science, or Arbor Scientiae, used by Ramón Llull to represent the various branches of knowledge.

It is a transdisciplinary journal that publishes original research (articles, essays or documents) and reviews on aspects of knowledge that help to think about and understand the world in its complexity and in dialogue with the present. Thought, science and culture, conceived at Arbor as hybrid and interconnected areas, are the three large fields that define its content.

Founded in 1944 it began to be available online in 2007, in PDF format, maintaining printed edition until 2013. That year it became an electronic journal publishing in PDF, HTML and XML-JATS. Contents of previous issues are also available in PDF files.

Arbor is indexed in Web of Science: Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) and Current Contents - Arts & Humanities; SCOPUS, CWTS Leiden Ranking (Journal indicators) Core publication, ERIH Plus, REDIB, DOAJ and other national and international databases. It is indexed in Latindex Catalogue 2.0 and has obtained the FECYT Seal of Quality.
