  INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS

Homology, Homotopy and Applications is an all-electronic journal which uses the TeX typesetting system to define its contents and the Internet to disseminate them. Authors are invited to submit articles to any member of the Editorial Board and the Editors-in-Chief in any standard flavour of TeX (i.e. plain, LaTeX, AMS-(La)Tex.) Below are more details about the mechanics of submitting an article.

All papers are refereed and acceptance of an article by an Editor indicates that the high standards of the journal have been met. Articles may be submitted to only one member of the Board.

The final accepted version of a paper is the form that will be in the archive; the author will not be able to make any changes, except: errata and additions can be attached to the end and, where appropriate, footnote(s) may be added to the main text calling attention to these addendums; references to pre-publication versions may be updated to final bibliographic form.

Accepted papers will be archived electronically in .dvi, Postscript and .pdf format by the journal.

Authors retain ownership of copyright to their work, subject to appropriate use of the work by the journal. For details consult the Copyright Agreement, to which authors must agree before an accepted paper is published. Authors must send separate email with Agreement to hha@rmi.acnet.ge.


FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION:

Articles must include an Abstract of not more than 200 words. AMS 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification and Keywords must also be included.

TeX source files of articles may be submitted in English, French or German by email to any member of the Editorial Board. Editors may also provide facilities for receiving articles by file transfer - contact your Editor to enquire.

LaTeX version 2e IS THE PREFERRED FORMAT, and its use will facilitate consideration of an article, but papers in other standard TeX flavors will be considered.

A class file is available from the journal and its use during preparation of articles is encouraged. Whether or not the journal's style is used, and whatever the flavour of TeX, author's should define a macro for each proclaimed structure e.g. \definition, \proposition, \theorem. These macros will be replaced by the journal's own.

Accepted articles will be archived in the style of the journal. Authors should note that the base font size is 10 point. Please avoid use of elements which depend on another base font size. Also avoid any absolute moves such as "\vskip 10 pt" as the journal's pagination will differ from yours. As a general rule less formatting is better.

An article is normally submitted as a single source file. All macros must be included with the source file and are the responsibility of the author. Macros should be placed at the beginning of the file. It is also helpful if any macro that is not actually used is deleted from the source file. The only exception is diagram macro packages. The currently acceptable macro packages are those authored by Barr, Borceux, Rose (XY-Pic) and Taylor. The author is responsible to ensure that the current version of a macro package has been used. Editors are not permitted to correct errors in TeX source.

If BiBTeX is used with LaTeX, bibliographies must be BiBTeXed and .bbl files appended to the source file. No .bib files will be accepted. References may use the standard BiBTeX styles or the Harvard style.

Authors are STRONGLY encouraged to use only fonts from the standard TeX distribution (cmr etc.), AMS symbol fonts (msym...) or the XY-pic fonts. They should be aware that use of non-standard fonts can interfere with successful dissemination of their work. Fonts not mentioned above must be provided by the author to the Editor concerned and to the journal. Embedded graphics or Postscript are not currently accepted.

The source file for an article must begin with a comment which includes the following information: the flavour of TeX used, the number of pages, any diagram macro package used, any non-standard fonts, the implementation of TeX used in preparation of the article. An example might be

% LaTeX-2e document, 12 pp, XY-pic ver 3.1, emTeX version 3.1


ARCHIVE POLICY

The primary archive of Homology, Homotopy and Applications (HHA) is a set of electronic files in TeX source, dvi and pk font formats. The source files contain all articles accepted in HHA and any macro files required to typeset them. The dvi files are those produced from the articles by the TeX program (version 3.14). Font files to allow printing of accepted articles must also be maintained. This archive is the property of the Editorial Board of HHA and is maintained by the Editors-in-Chief.


STYLE FILES

The LaTeX-2e class file for the journal and sample file are available here. Class file is a modification of the class file which is almost identical to the file jcm.cls created by David Carlisle for the "Journal of Computation Mathematics" of the London Mathematical Society. Also available are hints on how to use the style file.


(La)TeX macros for diagrams

The links here are to macro packages (and their documentation) intended to facilitate creation of diagrams in (La)TeX. A general index of TeX macro packages is maintained by David M. Jones in the pub/tex directory at theory.lcs.mit.edu

The links below are to appropriate directories at the ftp.shsu.edu CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) site. If you are not in North America, you may retrieve the files more quickly by connecting to another CTAN site closer to you. Try ftp.dante.de or ftp.tex.ac.uk. The packages are:

A LaTeX diagram macro package by Michael Barr based on picture mode.

A LaTeX diagram macro package by Francis Borceux based on matrices.

The XY-pic diagram macro package by Kris Rose.

A diagram macro package by Paul Taylor based on matrices.
