應用分類結構側重于從類別理論到數學，物理和計算機科學的結果，技術和思想的應用。 這些包括拓撲和代數類別的研究，表征理論，代數幾何，同源和同倫代數，衍生和三角化類別，（幾何）不變量的分類，數學物理中的分類研究，更高類別理論和應用，功能分析中的分類調查 ，在連續順序理論和理論計算機科學。 此外，該期刊還關注新興領域的發展，其中分類方法的應用被證明是相關的。

Applied Categorical Structures focuses on applications of results, techniques and ideas from category theory to mathematics, physics and computer science. These include the study of topological and algebraic categories, representation theory, algebraic geometry, homological and homotopical algebra, derived and triangulated categories, categorification of (geometric) invariants, categorical investigations in mathematical physics, higher category theory and applications, categorical investigations in functional analysis, in continuous order theory and in theoretical computer science. In addition, the journal also follows the development of emerging fields in which the application of categorical methods proves to be relevant.
