We give a simple and independent axiomatization of reticulations on residuated lattices, which were axiomatized by five conditions in [C. Mureşan, The reticulation of a residuated lattice, Bull. Math. Soc. Sci. Math. Roumanie 51 (2008), no. 1, 47--65]. Moreover, we show that reticulations can be considered as lattice homomorphisms between residuated lattices and b...
