Advances in Combinatorics is a mathematical journal that publishes high quality articles about combinatorial structures such as graphs, hypergraphs, set systems, matroids, geometrical configurations, and sets of integers, including their algorithmic aspects. We aim to be a top-level specialist journal in combinatorics. We do not have a set number of issues per year, so it is our policy to accept articles if and only if we judge them to have reached the standard we are looking for. As a rough guide, an article in Advances in Combinatorics should be what the title of the journal suggests: a genuine advance on a question of clear interest to combinatorialists.
