EDITORIAL POLICY

Reprints in Theory and Applications of Categories will disseminate articles or other works from the body of important literature in Category Theory and closely related subjects which have never been published in journal form, or which have been published in journals whose narrow circulation makes access very difficult. Publication in Reprints in Theory and Applications of Categories will permit free and full dissemination of such documents over the Internet. Works appearing have been critically reviewed by the Editorial Board of Theory and Applications of Categories. Only works of lasting significance are considered for publication.

The method of distribution of the series is via the WWW. The series is archived electronically.

SELECTION OF REPRINTS

  1. After obtaining written permission from any copyright holder, any three TAC Editors may propose a work for TAC Reprints to the Managing Editor. The proposal will be reported to all Editors.
  2. The Managing Editor may either accept the proposal or require that the Editors vote on it. Before such a vote, the author, title and original publication data will be circulated to Editors. If a 2/3 majority of those TAC Editors responding within one month agrees, the work will be accepted for TAC Reprints.
  3. After a work is accepted, the author or proposer must provide to TAC either a usable TeX source or a PDF document acceptable to the Managing Editor that reproduces a typeset version. Up to five pages of corrections, commentary and forward pointers may be appended by the author.

When submitting commentary, authors should read and follow the Format for submission of Theory and Applications of Categories.
