Selection Principles in Metalogic

Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Lecture / Presentation Description
In metalogic we take logic itself as the object of study. For this we do three things: define our logical formulae (Grammar), define what those logical formulae mean (Semantics), and define the rules for proofs (proof theory). In a crude sense the semantics of a logic tell us which logical formulae are true, and the proof-theory of a logic tells us which logical formulae can be deduced by proof from a set of axioms. These axioms are the objects of study in this project. The properties studied in most depth are soundness and completeness. Basically put, soundness is the following property: Every logical formula that is provable is guaranteed to be true. Completeness is this: Every logical formula that is guaranteed to be true is provable. The selection principle that I explore is this: Given a sequence of sound and complete sets of logical formulae, can we pick one formula from each, such that the set of all of our selections is complete? As it turns out, the answer is: no.
