Note:These pages make extensive use of the latest XHTML and CSS Standards. They ought to look great in any standards-compliant modern browser. Unfortunately, they will probably look horrible in older browsers, like Netscape 4.x and IE 4.x. Moreover, many posts use MathML, which is, currently only supported in Mozilla. My best suggestion (and you will thank me when surfing an ever-increasing number of sites on the web which have been crafted to use the new standards) is to upgrade to the latest version of your browser. If that's not possible, consider moving to the Standards-compliant and open-source Mozilla browser.

Focus and Scope

This journal publishes articles that make significant new contributions to mathematical science using higher structures, or that significantly advance our understanding of the foundational aspects of the theory of such structures. The scope of the journal includes: higher categories, operads and their generalisations, and applications of these to Algebra, Geometry, Topology, Combinatorics, Logic and Mathematical Physics.

Peer Review Process

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.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. Accepted articles will be licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

Re: Higher Structures Journal

I’m not sure, but from the website it appears so.

Re: Higher Structures Journal

Yes, you definitely can. Contact Mark Weber in the first instance.

From Information For Authors

Information for authors of accepted articles regarding TeX style will be available soon.

Presumably dictating some TeX style will give the journal a consistent look. Then again this may be somewhat moot given that there won’t be printed issues.
