More Information

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 Steering Committee and Managing Editor. Electronic archives are maintained by the journal and on the Canadian Mathematical Society's CaMEl server. Paper copies of articles are archived at the Mount Allison University Library.

The internet mailing list on category theory categories maintains a Web page with subscription and other information.

The AMS e-math Web site has list of electronic journals in the mathematical sciences.

MIRROR SITES

For various reasons, such as temporary shut-downs or heavy network traffic, it is useful maintain a "mirror" of the journal i.e. a complete copy of the articles and other information. You may find one of the locations listed below provides convenient alternate access.

It should be pointed out that every effort is made to ensure that the mirror sites are kept up to date, but the definitive current version of the journal is that maintained on its server.

The mirrors are:

The National Library of Canada
at http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/eppp-archive/tac/html/ as part of its Electronic Publications Pilot Project
The Canadian Mathematical Society

EDITORIAL POLICY

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/gopher/ftp. The journal is archived electronically and in printed paper format.
