Aims and scope
The Annals of K-Theory has been established to serve as the premier journal in K-theory and associated areas of mathematics. These include areas of algebraic geometry, homological algebra, category theory, geometry, functional analysis, and algebraic topology, encompassing such topics as cyclic homology, motivic homotopy theory, KK-theory, index theory, and more. The journal welcomes strong submissions in all areas in which K-theory concepts or methodology play a role.
The content of Annals of K-Theory, and the editorial process, is managed by the K-Theory Foundation, Inc. (KTF), a nonprofit organization run by mathematicians for mathematicians. The income produced by the journal will be used by the KTF to fund activities benefiting the K-theory community, such as conferences, summer schools, and prizes for deserving young mathematicians. The KTF is grateful to the Foundation Compositio Mathematica for its support in helping to get the journal up and running. The Foundation Compositio Mathematica and MSP, the publisher of AKT, are also nonprofit organizations run by mathematicians for mathematicians.
Ethics and policies
Information about the journal's editorial principles, its policies for authors, the handling of complaints and appeals, and copyright and licensing can be found here.
