Abstract: In this paper, we first endow the set of ribbon string links (up to isotopy) with a structure of a cyclic and of a cocyclic set. Next, we relate these (co)cyclic sets with those associated with the coend of a ribbon category. The relationship is given by the universal quantum invariants à la Reshetikhin–Turaev.
