About the journal
The Journal of Combinatorial Theory publishes original mathematical research concerned with theoretical and physical aspects of the study of finite and discrete structures in all branches of science. Series A is concerned primarily with structures, designs, and applications of combinatorics and is a valuable tool for mathematicians and computer scientists.
Instructions to Authors
Submission of Manuscripts. The preferred means of submission is via the Web (www.asu.edu/jcta). Authors wishing to direct their submission to a particular editorial board member should so indicate in the appropriate "Comments" box, at the end of the submission page.
Otherwise, submission of papers in electronic form is strongly encouraged. If you choose to submit electronically, please send an e-mail letter of submission including the author's names and the title of the paper, together with a PostScript (.ps) file or a portable document format (.pdf) file of the paper, to jcta@asu.edu.
If you are unable to submit electronically, please send three copies of your paper, together with a cover letter, directly to the editorial office at the address above.
Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been published and will not be nor is currently submitted elsewhere, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out; further, that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved such citation.
Copyright. Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the publisher. The Copyright Transfer Agreement should be signed by the appropriate person(s).
Form of Accepted Manuscripts.
Authors are strongly encouraged to use the LaTeX template available at http://www.authors.elsevier.com/latex for manuscript preparation. If the article is written using Elsevier Science's document class 'elsart,' or alternatively the standard document class 'article,' proofs will be produced without rekeying the text. However, proofs must still be read carefully. The Elsevier LaTeX package (which includes detailed instructions for LaTeX preparation) consists of the files elsart.cls (use this file if you are using LaTeX2e, the current verstion of LaTeX), elsart.sty and elsart13.sty (use these two files if you are using LaTeX3.09, the previous versiton of LaTeX), guidelines for users of elsart, a template file for quick start, and the instruction booklet "Preparing articles with LaTeX." Figures may be inserted in the usual way using an \includegraphics command, at the position in the article where they are cited.
Your LaTeX file will be most useful as imput for the printed article if you obey the following rules of thumb:
1. Be consistent. If you use a macro for a phrase, use it throughout.
2. Use standard LaTeX mark-up. Do not hardcode your own layout, e.g., section headings, but use the usual LaTeX macro for this purpose.
3. Keep it simple. Do not define macros that accomplish complicated layot. They will also make the input process complicated.
Also, please follow these guidelines: (a) All pages should be numbered consecutively and triple (preferably) or double spaced.
(b) Page 1 should contain the article title, author(s) name(s) and complete affiliation(s), including e-mail address, and the name and mailing address (and if possible an e-mail address and fax number) of the author to whom proofs should be sent.
(c) Page 2 should contain a brief abstract in English and any relevant keywords.
(d) Figure legends and footnotes should be listed on separate pages following the text. Do not use the software's footnote function in an electronic manuscript.
(e) Figures and tables should appear on individual pages at the end of the manuscript or in separate files in an electronic manuscript.
References. Cite the references in the text by an Arabic number between brackets, e.g., [1], [1, 2], [1, Theorem 1.5], and list them alphabetically at the end of the paper. They should be styled and punctuated according to the following examples.

For unpublished lectures or symposia, include title of paper, name and location of the conference or symposium (if any), the name of the sponsoring society in full, and the date. For journal names, follow the "Abbreviations of Names of Serials" provided in Mathematical Reviews (American Mathematical Society, 1995).
Figures. All illustrations are considered figures. Figures must be submitted in a form suitable for reproduction, either as original hard copy or as encapsulated PostScript (.eps) or .TIFF files. Color art is permissible, but the extra color printing costs will be charged to the author. A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available on our Web site at http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
Equations. The number should be placed in parentheses at the right margin. References to equations should be in the form "Eq. (3)" or simply "(3)".
Electronic Transmission of Accepted Manuscripts. If your manuscript is accepted for publication, please provide a revised editable file by FTP (ftp.elsevier.com, with username anon and password essd4acc) or e-mail (jcta@elsevier.com) as an attachment. If hard copy was not supplied at the revision stage, then please supply hard copy at acceptance, ensuring that all artwork is of good quality.
Authors are strongly encouraged to use the LaTeX template available at http://www.authors.elsevier.com/latex for manuscript preparation.

Your LaTeX file will be most useful as input for the printed article if you obey the following rules of thumb:
1. Be consistent. If you use a macro for a phrase, use it throughout.
2. Use standard LaTeX mark-up. Do not hardcode your own layout, e.g., section headings, but use the usual LaTeX macro for this purpose.
3. Keep it simple. Do not define macros that accomplish complicated layout. They will also make the input process complicated.
Proofs. Proofs will be sent to the author with a reprint order form. Authors will be charged for alterations in excess of 10% of the cost of composition.
Database coverage includes ACM Guide to Computing Literature, Compumath Citation Index, Current Contents, Mathematical Reviews, Research Alert, Science Abstracts, and the Science Citation Index.
