[From moderator: apologies to George; a keyboard error of mine hid the correct sender of this in a version posted a short time ago.] Dear Jim, I think what you did is extremely useful, also because it will make the views of MR on category theory very clear. My list below contains APCS in addition to the two journals everybody mentions. It does not contain HHA and JHRS, not because I have anything against them, but because we are explicitly talking about category theory now (according to your message to MR).

Dear Professor Stasheff,
Your message has been forwarded to my attention.
Reference lists appear in MathSciNet from journals included in the Mathematical Reviews Citation Database. These journals are selected through an editorial process that includes approval by the Mathematical Reviews Editorial Committee (MREC). Citation Database reference list journals are reexamined each year in October. The list of current Citation Database reference list journals can be found at: http://www.ams.org/mrcitations/journal_list.html.
Please feel free to send me specific examples of journals you might have in mind and I will forward them to MREC for their consideration. Let me know if you have further questions.
Sincerely, Calista Stafford

I am told that according to Mathematical Reviews, the citations in Category Theory journals are not citations!
If true, can something be done about it?
thanks
