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.
