About the journal
Designs, Codes and Cryptography is an archival peer-reviewed technical journal publishing survey and original papers in the designated areas. There is a great deal of activity in design theory, coding theory and cryptography and recently there has been considerable research done which brings together more than one of the subjects. Journals currently exist for each of the individual areas but none encourage the interaction of the disciplines.
Some of these journals emphasize only the theoretical aspects of each subject, some only the practical. Designs, Codes and Cryptography provides a forum for high quality papers of both a theoretical and a practical nature which bridge more than one of these areas. The scope of the journal is wider. Papers emphasizing the algebraic and geometric aspects of any of the areas will be considered with papers touching more than one of the areas being especially welcome.
The journal is being distributed to engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists and other in education, industry and government.
Designs, Codes and Cryptography is indexed/abstracted in ACM Computing Reviews; ACM Guide to Computing Literature; CAB Abstracts; COMPENDEX Plus; COMPUMATH Citation Index; CompuTec; Computer Literature Index; Current Contents/Engineering, Computing and Technology; Ei Page One; Engineering Index; Inspec Database; The ISI Alerting Services; Mathematical Reviews database; Science Citation Index; Science Citation Index Expanded; Zentralblatt MATH
Instructions to Authors
Authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original works which has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other journals.
Process for Submission
1. Authors should submit five hard copies of their final manuscript to:
Michelle Misner
Designs, Codes and Cryptography - Editorial Office
Kluwer Academic Publishers
101 Philip Drive
Norwell, MA 02061, U.S.A.
Tel: 781-871-6300
Fax: 781-878-0449
Email: Michelle.Misner@wkap.com
For prompt attention, all correspondence can be directed to this address.
2. Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from three to five key words.
3. Enclose originals for the illustrations, see "Style for Illustrations," for one copy of the manuscript. Photocopies of the figures may accompany the remaining copies of the manuscript. Alternatively, original illustrations may be submitted after the paper has been accepted.
4. Enclose a separate page giving the complete preferred mailing address (including street and bldg. nos.) of the contact author for correspondence and return of proofs. Please include a telephone number, fax number and e-mail address.
5. The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers.
6. All papers should be written in English.
Style for Manuscript
1. Typeset, double space in English; use one side of sheet only (laser printed, typewritten and good quality duplication acceptable). Our LaTeX style file offers a draft mode for this purpose.
2. Use an informative title for the paper and include an abstract of 100 to 250 words at the head of the manuscript. The abstract should be a carefully worded description of the problem addressed, the key ideas introduced, and the results. Abstracts will be printed with the article.
3. Provide a separate double-spaced sheet listing all footnotes, beginning with "Affiliation of author" and continuing with numbered footnotes. Footnotes are printed at the end of the article before the references. Acknowledgment of financial support may be given if appropriate.
4. References should appear in a separate bibliography at the end of the paper in alphabetical order and numbered consecutively with items referred to in the text by arabic numerals in brackets (e.g., [1]). References should be complete, in the following style:
o Style for papers: Author(s), title, volume, year of publication and inclusive page numbers.
o Style for books: Author(s), title, publisher and location, volume, year of publication, chapter or page numbers (if desired).
Examples as follows:
¡ì [1] K.T. Arasu and Alexander Pott, On quasi regular collineation groups of projective planes, Designs, Codes and Cryptography, Vol. 1, No. 1 (1991) pp. 83-92.
¡ì [2] P. Dembowski, Finite Geometries, Springer-Verlag, Berlin-Heidelberg, New York (1968).
¡ì [3] K. Koyama and K. Ohta, Identity-based conference key distribution systems, Advances in Cryptography: Proceedings of Crypto 87 (C. Pomerence, ed.), Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag, New York, 293 (1988) pp. 175-194.
o Type or mark mathematical expressions exactly as they should appear in print. Use Box as an end of proof symbol. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows: variables, italic type (indicated by underline); constants, roman text type; matrices and vectors, boldface type (indicated by wavy underline). In word-processor manuscripts, use appropriate typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations are to be set in italic type unless you mark them otherwise. All letter symbols in text discussion must be marked if they should be italic or boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they will not fit on one line.
Electronic Delivery
Please send only the electronic version (of ACCEPTED paper) via one of the methods listed below. Note, in the event of minor discrepancies between the electronic version and hard copy, the electronic file will be used as the final version.
The Kluwer LaTeX journal style file is no longer the preferred format for accepted paper submissions. Kluwer will accept any format for accepted paper submissions.
Via electronic mail
1. Please e-mail electronic version to: KAPfiles@wkap.com
2. Recommended formats for sending files via e-mail:
o Binary files - uuencode or binhex
o Compressing files - compress, pkzip, or gzip
o Collecting files - tar
3. The e-mail message should include the author¡®s last name, the name of the journal to which the paper has been accepted, and the type of file (e.g., \LaTeX or ASCII).
Via anonymous FTP
ftp: ftp.wkap.com
cd: /incoming/production
Send e-mail to KAPfiles@wkap.com to inform Kluwer electronic version is at this FTP site.
Via disk
1. Label a 3.5 inch floppy disk with the operating system and word processing program along with the authors¡® names, manuscript title, and name of journal to which the paper has been accepted.
2. Mail Disk to:
Kluwer Academic Publishers
Desktop Department
101 Philip Drive
Assinippi Park

Style for Illustrations
1. Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise-free, and of good contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service.
2. Line drawings should be in laser printer output or in India ink on paper, or board. Use 8 1/2 by 11-inch (22 x 29cm) size sheets if possible, to simplify handling of the manuscript.
3. Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of each figure in the text, but place the figure itself on a separate page following the text.
4. Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term "figure" for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired location of each table in the text, but place the table itself on a separate page following the text. Type a brief title above each table.
5. All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction.
6. Photographs should be glossy prints, of good contrast and gradation, and any reasonable size.
7. Number each original on the back.
8. Provide a separate sheet listing all figure captions, in proper style for the typesetter, e.g., "Figure 3. Examples of the fault coverage of random vectors in (a) combinational and (b) sequential circuits."
Proofing
Page proofs for articles to be included in a journal issue will be sent to the contact author for proofing, unless otherwise informed. The proofread copy should be received back by the Publisher within 72 hours.
Copyright
