K-theory: the interim editors' final statement In August 2007 Springer Verlag asked us to take over as interim editors of "K-theory", to deal with the papers submitted to the journal prior to the resignation of the editors in January 2007, and which had not been processed. We have now dealt with all such papers whose authors informed us that they wish to stay with "K-theory". Thus we have completed our task, and thank the authors and referees for their work. All further communications about the publication of papers in "K-theory" should be addressed directly to Springer Verlag, including any inquiries from authors of submitted papers who have not yet contacted us.
