Abstract
For a k-algebra A, the category 
of A-modules taking values in a k-linear abelian category 
was introduced by Popescu. The algebraic properties of 
, including Grothendieck’s theory of flat descent, were developed by Artin and Zhang. In this note, we show that Beauville–Laszlo descent also holds in the category 
.
