    The article spectrum claims that "There is a stabilized Dold-Kan correspondence that identifies these with special objects in Sp(Top)." The formula that follows this statement seems to imply that the stabilized Dold-Kan correspondence works with chain complexes that are unbounded in both directions. What is the reference for this type of Dold-Kan correspondence?

    I’m going to hope someone else has a good answer to your question, but just FYI, on the nForum you can type [[spectrum]] and it will automatically produce a link to the appropriate nLab page spectrum, as long as you select the radio button “Markdown+Itex” below the input box.

    The entry discussing this is at module spectrum in the section Stable Dold-Kan correspondence.

    I am adding the missing pointers to that entry now to spectrum and to Dold-Kan correspondence.

    By the way, what is currently written at module spectrum is only a half of what I would name the stabilized Dold-Kan correspondence.

    More precisely, the ordinary Dold-Kan correspondence says that the following three categories are equivalent:
    1) Connective modules over HZ
    2) Connective chain complexes of abelian groups
    3) Simplicial abelian groups

    Similarly, the stabilized Dold-Kan correspondence says that the following three categories are equivalent:
    1) Modules over HZ
    2) Chain complexes of abelian groups
    3) Stably-simplicial abelian groups

    3) was defined in Kan's paper Semisimplicial spectra, who calls them abelian group spectra, see Definition 5.1.
    Proposition 5.8 proves an equivalence between 2) and 3).

    Sounds very good. Do you feel like adding comments to this extent to one of the relevant entries?

    I added a new section on the stable Dold-Kan correspondence to Dold-Kan correspondence.

    I am now not at all sure if we should also refer to the theorem that establishes an equivalence of ∞-categories between HZ-modules and chain complexes as the Dold-Kan correspondence. This statement doesn't seem to be related in any way to the original results of Dold and Kan. Any suggestions on how to resolve this terminological problem?
