Theory and Applications of Categories (ISSN 1201 - 561X) is the all-electronic, refereed journal on Category Theory, categorical methods and their applications in the mathematical sciences. The editorial policy of the journal provides details.
The Editorial Board controls the journal with coordination by its Managing Editor Robert Rosebrugh, Associate Managing Editor Michael Barr, and Steering Committee. Electronic archives are maintained by the journal and at various mirror sites. Paper copies of articles are archived at the Mount Allison University Library.
The Editorial Board wishes to acknowledge financial support from the M. Y. Bell Faculty Fund towards purchase of the journal's first server, and on-going technical support from the Mount Allison University Computing Services Department.
The internet mailing list on category theory categories maintains a Web page with subscription and other information.
The Electronic Library of the European Mathematical Society at http://www.emis.de/editorial.html includes mirrors of electronic journals and electronic conference proceedings.
A list of free, refereed electronic mathematics journals from the World Combinatorics Exchange is www.combinatorics.org/OtherJournals/index.html . The AMS Web site has a longer list of electronic journals in the mathematical sciences.
The journal Theory and Applications of Categories will disseminate articles that significantly advance the study of categorical algebra or methods, or that make significant new contributions to mathematical science using categorical methods. The scope of the journal includes: all areas of pure category theory, including higher dimensional categories; applications of category theory to algebra, geometry and topology and other areas of mathematics; applications of category theory to computer science, physics and other mathematical sciences; contributions to scientific knowledge that make use of categorical methods.
Articles appearing in the journal have been carefully and critically refereed under the responsibility of members of the Editorial Board . Only papers judged to be both significant and excellent are accepted for publication.
The method of distribution of the journal is via the Internet tools WWW/ftp. The journal is archived electronically and in printed paper format.
Some editors' home pages or more specific areas of interest are linked to their names.
