Well pure mathematicians study the properties of formal systems and inferences within those systems and so on. I'd worry about subsuming it under the catch-all term "logic" though. More to the point people used to think that mathematics could be solely reduced to logic, but that belief is no longer held by most people. In any case, when most educated laypeople use the term "logic" close to correctly, they mean roughly what philosophers mean by it.
It seems strange to me that anyone would say that logic matters more in other disciplines than philosophy, since the sole criterion of a good paper is the quality of its arguments, not the quality of empirical research or anything like that. We don't do statistics.
