The European Journal of Combinatorics is an international journal of pure mathematics published eight times per year, specialising
in theories arising from combinatorial problems. The journal is primarily open to papers dealing with mathematical structures within
combinatorics and/or establishing direct links between combinatorics and other branches of mathematics and the theories of computing.
The journal welcomes contributions in the form of full-length research papers, short notes or research problems and any other information
of interest to the community. Papers are published in English, although in exceptional circumstances manuscripts can also be submitted
in French or German. It is journal policy to put strong emphasis on rigour in content and to insist on high refereeing standards. The
journal also pays particular attention to minimising publication delays.
Manuscripts should be submitted by e-mail to one of the
Editors-in-Chief:
Pierre Rosenstiehl
Centre de Mathématique Sociale, EHESS, Paris, France, pr@ehess.fr
OR
Michel Deza
Laboratoire de Géométrie Appliquée, ENS, Paris, France, ejc@ens.fr
Please submit the source file of your article as well as a PDF. All articles should contain an abstract in English - extensive abstracts
are welcomed.
Form of Manuscript. Page 1 should contain the article title, author(s) name(s), and complete affiliation(s).
Page 2 should contain a proposed running head (abbreviated form of title of less than 35 characters). It should also contain the name
and the mailing address of the author to whom proofs should be sent.
Digital Object Identifier. Elsevier assigns a unique
digital object identifier (DOI) to every article it publishes. The DOI appears on the title page of the article. It is assigned after
the article has been accepted for publication and persists throughout the lifetime of the article. Due to its persistence, it can be
used to query Elsevier for information on the article during the production process, to find the article on the Internet through various
web sites, including ScienceDirect, and to cite the article in academic references. When using an Elsevier article in a reference section,
it is important to include the article's DOI in the reference as volume and page information is not always available for articles published
online. The References section, below, shows samples of DOI included in references.
References. Should be styled and punctuated
according to the following examples:
[1] K. Menger, Zur allgemeinen Kurventheorie, Fund. Math.10(1927), 96-115.
[2] J. T. Scheick, Some problems in approximation theory, Ph.D. Dissertation, Syracuse University, June, 1966.

and R. Phillips, Functional Analysis and Semi-groups, American Mathematical Society, Providence, R.I. 1957. (For books, include
name of publisher, city, state, country and year.)
For unpublished lectures of symposia, include title of paper, name of sponsoring
society in full, date. For journal names, follow Abbreviations of the Names of Scientific Periodicals Reviewed in Mathematical Reviews,
Volume 37, 1969 (reprint USD 1.00, American Mathematical Society). Cite references in the text by an Arabic number between square brackets,
as [1], [1, 2], [1, Theorem 1.5], etc. Type references double- or triple-spaced throughout. When citing an Elsevier journal, include
the digital object identifier, if noted, from the article's title page. Please note the following example:

Figures.
All illustrations are to be considered as figures. Figures must be submitted in a form suitable for reproduction.
Proofs.
Page 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.
Copyright/Offprints. Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for
publication, exclusive copyright in the paper shall be assigned to the Publisher. In consideration for the assignment of copyright, the
Publisher will supply 25 offprints of each paper. Further offprints may be ordered at extra cost: the copyright assignment form and offprint
order form will be sent with the proofs. The Publisher will not put any limitation on the personal freedom of the author to use material
contained in the paper in other works.
Journal title is covered in Current Contents, ASCA and the Science Citation
Index.
