Your Paper Your Way We now differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submissions. You may choose to submit your manuscript as a single Word or PDF file to be used in the refereeing process. Only when your paper is at the revision stage, will you be requested to put your paper in to a 'correct format' for acceptance and provide the items required for the publication of your article. To find out more, please visit the Preparation section below. INTRODUCTION The aim of Discrete Applied Mathematics is to bring together research papers in different areas of algorithmic and applicable discrete mathematics as well as applications of combinatorial mathematics to informatics and various areas of science and technology. Contributions presented to the journal can be research papers, short notes, surveys, and possibly research problems. The "Communications" section will be devoted to the fastest possible publication of the brief outlines of recent research results, the detailed presentation of which might be submitted for possible publication in Discrete Applied Mathematics or elsewhere. The journal will also publish a limited number of book announcements as well as proceedings of conferences. These proceedings will be fully refereed and adhere to the normal standards of the journal. Types of Papers Contribution - Full length original research article of more than 10 pages. Note- A short self-contained original research article of 10 pages or less, focusing on a particular result that does not provide enough material for a full length Contribution. Communication - A short article outlining a new result or new research that can later be expanded to a full length Contribution. Please note that Communications should be sent directly to a member of the Editorial Board chosen by the author. The Editor will then conduct a review of the paper, ask the author for any necessary revisions, and will "communicate" the final paper to the Editorial Office. Erratum- Concise correction to article of the same author published in the journal. The full publication data of the original paper should be included. ScienceDirect will provide a link to the Erratum
