About the journal
Topology and its Applications is primarily concerned with publishing original research papers of moderate length. However, a limited number of carefully selected survey or expository papers are also included. The mathematical focus of the journal is that suggested by the title: Research in Topology. It is felt that it is inadvisable to attempt a definitive description of topology as understood for this journal. Certainly the subject includes the algebraic, general, geometric, and set-theoretic facets of topology as well as areas of interactions between topology and other mathematical disciplines, e.g. topological algebra, topological dynamics, functional analysis, category theory.
Since the roles of various aspects of topology continue to change, the non-specific delineation of topics serves to reflect the current state of research in topology.
At regular intervals, the journal publishes a section entitled ``Open Problems in Topology'', edited by J. van Mill and G.M. Reed. This is a status report on the 1100 problems listed in the book of the same name published by North-Holland in 1990, edited by van Mill and Reed.

Guide for Authors
General Submission of your manuscript is welcome provided that it, or any translation of it, has not been copyrighted or published and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Upon acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. Manuscripts should be prepared for publication in accordance with the instructions given below.
Type of contributions The journal welcomes the following types of contributions: 1. Original research articles, 2. Review articles, providing a comprehensive review on a scientific topic.
Instructions to Contributors In order to facilitate the editorial process, authors are asked to submit manuscripts to the Editor listed below whose area of expertise most closely matches the research topic of the author's manuscript. In case it is necessary to reassign a paper from one editor to another, the author will be informed accordingly. Papers may be submitted to one of the following editors: Paul Goerss, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208-2730, USA. pgoerss@math.nwu.edu James Keesling, Department of Mathematics, P.O.

Figures should be provided separately in a form suitable for photographic reproduction and reduction. Lettering should be uniform of size corresponding to the anticipated reduction. Handwritten lettering on figures is not acceptable. Figures should be identified by arabic numbers. Photographs and coloured pictures must be of impeccable quality (original figures or high-quality glossy prints, or photographs showing a sharp contrast). Please note that for colour photographs the publisher will charge the printing costs to the author.
Online Submission Authors are encouraged to submit their papers electronically by using online manuscript submission at http://www.elsubmit.com/elsubmit/topol. Authors interested in online submission are requested to go to the website and upload their manuscript and its associated artwork. An electronic (PDF) proof is generated and the reviewing process is carried out using that PDF. It is important that all graphical and tabular elements be placed within the text, so that the PDF is suitable for reviewing. This will also allow the preferred position of placement to be indicated, however please note that due to journal conventions, it may not be possible to meet all requirements for placement of artwork. Moreover, the PDF file may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards. Authors and editors send and receive all correspondence by email via the website and no paper correspondence is performed.
Instructions for LaTeX manuscripts If the file is suitable, proofs will be produced without rekeying the text. The article should be encoded in Elsevier-LaTeX, standard LaTeX, or AMS-LaTeX (in document style "article"). The Elsevier-LaTex package (including detailed instructions for LaTeX preparation) can be obtained by from Elsevier's Web site: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/latex The Elsevier package consists of the files: elsart.cls (use this file if you are using LaTeX2e, the current version of LaTeX), elsart.sty and elsart12.sty (use these two files if you are using LaTeX2.09, the previous version of LaTeX), instraut.dvi and/or instraut.ps and/or instraut.pdf (instruction booklet), model-harv.tex or model-num.tex (model files with instructions), template-harv.tex or template-num.tex (template files). No changes from the accepted version are permissible, without the explicit approval by the Editor. The Publisher reserves the right to decide whether to use the author's file or not.
Papers submitted to Topology and its Applications may also be posted on The Mathematics Preprint Server (http://www.mathpreprints.com). Posting on The Mathematics Preprint Server is in conformity with Elsevier Science copyright policy and in no way conflicts with submission to Topology and its Applications.
Author Benefits 50 offprints of each contribution free of charge 30% discount on all Elsevier Science B.V. books
Guide to Online Submission
Welcome to the Elsevier online submission service. This service has been designed to be as easy as possible to use. Authors can upload their article as a LaTeX, Microsoft?(MS) Word?/I> or WordPerfect?/I>. It is also possible to submit an article in PostScript or Adobe?Acrobat?PDF format, but if the article is accepted it will be necessary to send in the original source files.
The system generates an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article which is used for the reviewing process. Authors, Reviewers and Editors send and receive all correspondence by e-mail and no paper correspondence is necessary. Note: articles are converted into PDF for the review process but may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards.

Journal specific guidelines on types of article accepted and how to prepare your article can be found in the Author Gateway journal page, in the Guide for Authors.
Word Processor Formats Please submit your article as a file in one of the following formats:
- MS Word 6
- MS Word 97
- MS Word 98 for Macintosh?
- MS Word 2000
- WordPerfect 6.1 or higher
- RTF
Important notes on word processor file preparation
- For review purposes you must submit your article as a SINGLE FILE. You need to embed all your figures and tables within this file.
- Fonts: Please choose Times, Times New Roman, Courier, Arial or Helvetica fonts as much as possible. Other fonts (e.g. Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) character fonts) may cause the PDF conversion to fail. If your manuscript does not correctly convert to PDF, replace the font(s) where necessary and try again.
- Most formatting codes will be removed or replaced on processing your article so there is no need for you to apply excessive layout styling. In addition, avoid options such as automatic word breaking, justified layout, double columns, automatic paragraph numbering (especially for numbered references). However, do use bold face, italic, subscripts, superscripts, etc.
- For the production of your article you will also have to submit your graphic files separately as high resolution graphics. (See also the section on Electronic Artwork below.)
LaTex For general instructions on how to prepare an article using LaTeX, see the Latex file guidelines. In addition, please note the following:
- Include all your graphics in the LaTeX file, e.g. with the \includegraphics from the graphics package.
- Submit any special class (or style) files and other macro files with your article. We are using an up-to-date TeX installation (TeXLive5d), so you need not include any of the standard packages.
PDF If possible, please submit the original LaTeX or word processor files: this website will take care of converting them into a PDF file.
If you wish to create your own PDF, download the ES_review.joboptions to the "Settings" folder of your Acrobat Distiller and choose the "ES_review" joboptions before converting your file.
Note: This joboptions file is for Adobe Distiller v4.05 and later. If you are still working with an older version, or if you need more help, see. PDF settings .
File naming To avoid confusion, please make sure your file has a short, descriptive name. Short means less than 30 characters and descriptive means names like figure1.tif and smith-article-version1.doc.
For the production of your paper in the journal we need high-resolution graphic files in either TIFF or EPS. For information on how to prepare your artwork for electronic submission, see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
