About the journal
|
Finite Fields and Their Applications is a peer-reviewed technical journal publishing papers in finite field theory as well as in applications of finite fields. As a result of applications in a wide variety of areas, finite fields are increasingly important in several areas of mathematics, including linear and abstract algebra, number theory and algebraic geometry, as well as in computer science, statistics, information theory, and engineering.
For cohesion, and because so many applications rely on various theoretical properties of finite fields, it is essential that there be a core of high-quality papers on theoretical aspects. In addition, since much of the vitality of the area comes from computational problems, the journal publishes papers on computational aspects of finite fields as well as on algorithms and complexity of finite field-related methods.
The journal also publishes papers in various applications including, but not limited to, algebraic coding theory, cryptology, combinatorial design theory, pseudorandom number generation, and linear recurring sequences. There are other areas of application to be included, but the important point is that finite fields play a nontrivial role in the theory, application, or algorithm.
Finite Fields and Their Applications is published four times per year and maintains very strict refereeing standards, accepting only those papers which receive excellent referee reports.

Instructions to Authors
Finite Fields and Their Applications publishes original high-quality papers in finite field theory as well as in applications of finite fields including but certainly not limited to algebraic coding theory, cryptology, combinatorial design theory, pseudorandom number generation, and linear recurring sequences. In addition, because computational problems are of practical interest, papers on computational aspects of finite fields as well as on algorithms and the complexity of finite field-related methods are welcome. The important point is that finite fields play a nontrivial role in the theory, application, or algorithm.
Original papers only will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been published, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out, and that all clearances have been received by the author by the time a manuscript is submitted for publication. It is further understood that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved such citation; written authorization may be required at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.
Submission of Manuscripts
Online submission. Authors are encouraged to submit their papers electronically using the Elsevier electronic submission tool located on the Elsevier Author Gateway. To use this submission route, please go to http://authors.elsevier.com/pub/622831/ and click on the "Submit online to this journal" link located under "Journal Services." You may then upload your article and its associated artwork. A PDF is generated and the reviewing process is carried out using that PDF. All correspondence between editor and author is performed by e-mail, and paper copies are not required at the original submission stage.
Alternative method of submission. Authors also have the option of sending their manuscripts in quadruplicate (the original and three copies) for consideration to the editorial office:

Copyright and Permissions
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).
Authors are responsible for obtaining permissions to reprint previously published figures, tables, and other material.
Preparation of 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. 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 version of LaTeX), elsart.sty and elsart13.sty (use these two files if you are using LaTeX3.09, the previous version of LaTeX), guidelines for users of elsart, a template file for quick start, and the instruction booklet "Preparing articles with LaTeX." Otherwise, please follow the hard-copy manuscript preparation guidelines below.
Manuscripts should be prepared according to the following style rules. Deviation from these rules causes publication delays.
Submit manuscript in quadruplicate--including the original typewritten copy (preferably triple spaced but at least double spaced)--on one side of 8.5 x 11 inch white paper. All pages should be numbered consecutively and triple (preferably) or double spaced.
Title page (page 1). This page should contain the article title, authors' names and complete affiliations, footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax number).
Abstract (page 2). The abstract must be a single paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in less than 150 words. After the abstract a list of up to 10 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching must be included.
References to the literature should be cited by number in brackets in the text as [1], [1,2], [1, Theorem 1.5] and listed in numerical order at the end.

For unpublished lectures or symposia, include the title of the paper, name of the sponsoring society in full, and the date. For journal names, follow "Abbreviations of Names of Serials, Reviewed in Mathematical Reviews" (American Mathematical Society). When in doubt about employing certain abbreviations, use clarity as a guide.
Footnotes. In text, footnotes should be avoided. If absolutely necessary, identify them by superscript Arabic numerals in order of their appearance and type them together on a separate page, double-spaced.
Tables. Number tables consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title directly above and essential footnotes below. Authors should submit complex tables as camera-ready copy.
Figures. Figures should be in a finished form suitable for publication. Number figures with Arabic numerals, and indicate the top and the authors on the back of each figure. Lettering on drawings should be professional quality or generated by high-resolution computer graphics and must be large enough to withstand appropriate reduction for publication. Figures should not be embedded in the text. Digital artwork of at least 300 dpi resolution is accepted in EPS or TIFF format. Please refer to http://authors.elsevier.com/ArtworkInstructions.html?dc=AI1 for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork. Type all legends consecutively on a separate sheet. Color art is permissible, but the extra printing costs will be charged to the author.
Equations. All equations should be typewritten and the numbers for displayed equations should be placed in parentheses at the right margin. References to equations should use the form "Eq. (3)" or simply "(3)."
Proofs
Article proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. Authors will be charged for alterations in excess of 10% of the total cost of composition.
