General Author Instructions (short version)
Each paper should be introduced by three to five keywords and a selfcontained abstract of no more than 100 words, not counting the formulas.
Please make sure that the paper is submitted in its final form. Corrections in the proof stage other than printer's errors should be avoided: costs arising from such corrections will be charged to the authors.
Footnotes should be avoided if possible, but if they are included they should be brief numbered consecutively.
References should be listed alphabetically, as in the following examples: books [1], articles in journals [2],papers in a contributed volume [3,4], unpublished papers [5].

- [5] A. Rajasekar, Semantics for logic programs, Ph.D. Thesis, Department of Computer Science, University of Maryland, 1989.
Figures should be provided in a form suitable for photographic reproduction and reduction. Lettering should be uniform of size corresponding to the anticipated reduction. Handwritten lettering on figures is not acceptable. Figures should be identified by arabic numerals and the captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet rather than lettered on the figures themselves. Photographs and coloured pictures must be of impeccable quality. Please note that for colour photographs the publisher will charge the printing costs to the author. Afinal accepted manuscript can be submitted in paper only (typed on one side in double spacing with wide margins).
Electronic Submissions:LaTeX documents
Only the final accepted manuscript can be submitted on disk, along with two paper-printed copies which are identical to the file. Please label the disk with your name, and mention which word processor you have used. If the file is suitable, proofs will be produced without rekeying the text. The article should be encoded in ESP-LaTeX, standard LaTeX, o rAMS-LaTeX (in document style "article"). The Elsevier-LaTex package, together with instructions on how to prepare a file, is available from the Publisher. This package can also be obtained through Elsevier Science FTP-server, or using anonymous FTP from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) at sites in the USA in the United Kingdom and in Germany
Illustrative material (original figures or high-quality glossy prints,or photographs showing a sharp contrast) should be included separately. No changes from the accepted version are permissible, without the explicit approval by the Editors. The Publisher reserves the right to decide whether to use the author's file or not. Authors should include an ASCII table (available from the Publisher) in their files to enable the detection of transmission errors.
For the purpose of further correspondence the manuscript should end with a complete mailing address, preferably including email address, of at least one of the authors.
Electronic submission: Non-LaTeX documents
Only the final accepted manuscript can be submitted on disk, along with two paper-printed copies which are identical to the file. Please label the disk with your name, and mention which word processor you have used.
The word-processed text should be in single column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible; in particular, do not use the word-processor's options to justify the text or to hyphenate the words. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts (see also Guide for Authors). The list of references, tables and figure legends should be compiled separately from the main text. Do not reserve space for the figures and tables in the text; instead, indicate their approximate locations, either directly in the electronic text or on the manuscript. The final text should be submitted both in manuscript form and on diskette or CD. Use standard 3.5" or 5.25" diskettes for this purpose. Both double density (DD) and high density (HD) diskettes are acceptable. It is recommended to store the main text, list of references, tables and figure legends in separate text files with clearly identifiable file names (for example, with extensions .TXT, REF, TBL, FIG). The format of the files depends on the word-processor used. Texts made with DEC WPS PLUS, DisplayWrite, First Choice, IBM Writing Assistant, Microsoft Word, Multimate, PFS:Write, Professional Writer, Samma Word, Sprint, Total Word, Volkswriter, Wang PC, WordMARC, WordPerfect, Wordstar, or files supplied in DCA.RFT format can be readily processed. In all other cases the preferred text format is ASCII.
Essential is that name and version of the word-processing program and the type of computer on which the text was prepared is clearly indicated on the diskette label or the accompanying checklist. The manuscript may contain parts (e.g. formulas or complex tables) or last-minute corrections which are not included in the text on diskette; however, if this is the case then the differences with the diskette version should be clearly marked on the manuscript.
Illustrative material (original figures or high-quality glossy prints, or photographs showing a sharp contrast) should be included separately.
Keyword Instructions
Important Notice: please add one to five keywords to your article.
Keywords are essential for the accessibility and retrievability of your article. Keywords assigned to articles will be assembled in a keyword index which will be printed in the last issue of each volume for each journal, and in cumulative indexes. In addition, it is planned to make keywords available on Internet. To maximize the consistency with which such keywords are assigned by different authors, the following guidelines have been drawn up.
- Each keyword (which can be a phrase of more than one word) should describe one single concept. Words like "and" or "of" should be avoided.
- Avoid very general keywords which become meaningless once in a keyword list, e.g "action", "computer", "mathematics". Check whether the keywords describe the outline of the article on the whole.
- Use natural language: for instance "automatic error recovery" rather than "error recovery, automatic".
- Try to use nouns and adjectives as much as possible (i.e. use "automatic error recovery" rather than "recovering errors automatically"). Do not use nouns in the plural form.
- Use English rather than American spelling (regardless of the spelling used for the article itself).
- Avoid the use of abbreviations as much as possible, unless an abbreviation is so well-established that the full term is rarely used (e.g. use "laser" instead of "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation", but use "computer aided design" instead of "CAD").
Although these guidelines are not mandatory, they should be adhered to where possible.
Papers submitted to Discrete Mathematics may also be posted on The Mathematics Preprint Server (http://www.mathpreprints.com). Posting on The Mathematics Preprint Server is in conformity with Elsevier Science copyright policy and in no way conflicts with submission to Discrete Mathematics.
Author Benefits
No page charge is due
25 offprints of each contribution free of charge
30% discount on all Elsevier Science books.
Guide to Online Submission
Welcome to the Elsevier online submission service. This service has been designed to be as easy as possible to use. Authors can upload their article as a LaTeX, Microsoft?(MS) Word?/I> or WordPerfect?/I>. It is also possible to submit an article in PostScript or Adobe?Acrobat?PDF format, but if the article is accepted it will be necessary to send in the original source files.
The system generates an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article which is used for the reviewing process. Authors, Reviewers and Editors send and receive all correspondence by e-mail and no paper correspondence is necessary. Note: articles are converted into PDF for the review process but may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards.
Journal specific guidelines on types of article accepted and how to prepare your article can be found in the Author Gateway journal page, in the Guide for Authors.
Word Processor Formats
Please submit your article as a file in one of the following formats:
- MS Word 6
- MS Word 97
- MS Word 98 for Macintosh?
- MS Word 2000
- WordPerfect 6.1 or higher
- RTF
Important notes on word processor file preparation
- For review purposes you must submit your article as a SINGLE FILE. You need to embed all your figures and tables within this file.
- Fonts: Please choose Times, Times New Roman, Courier, Arial or Helvetica fonts as much as possible. Other fonts (e.g. Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) character fonts) may cause the PDF conversion to fail. If your manuscript does not correctly convert to PDF, replace the font(s) where necessary and try again.
- Most formatting codes will be removed or replaced on processing your article so there is no need for you to apply excessive layout styling. In addition, avoid options such as automatic word breaking, justified layout, double columns, automatic paragraph numbering (especially for numbered references). However, do use bold face, italic, subscripts, superscripts, etc.
- For the production of your article you will also have to submit your graphic files separately as high resolution graphics. (See also the section on Electronic Artwork below.)
LaTex
For general instructions on how to prepare an article using LaTeX, see the Latex file guidelines. In addition, please note the following:
- Include all your graphics in the LaTeX file, e.g. with the \includegraphics from the graphics package.
- Submit any special class (or style) files and other macro files with your article. We are using an up-to-date TeX installation (TeXLive5d), so you need not include any of the standard packages.
PDF
If possible, please submit the original LaTeX or word processor files: this website will take care of converting them into a PDF file.
If you wish to create your own PDF, download the ES_review.joboptions to the "Settings" folder of your Acrobat Distiller and choose the "ES_review" joboptions before converting your file.
Note: This joboptions file is for Adobe Distiller v4.05 and later. If you are still working with an older version, or if you need more help, see. PDF settings .
PDF Settings
Here is how you can find the folder where Adobe Distiller keeps its option files.
i. Open Adobe Distiller
ii. Choose Settings | Job Options...
iii. Click on Save as...
iv. The Save in: box shows you the name and the location of the folder where you should save ES_review.joboptions.
v. Click Cancel twice to leave the Job Options screen.
Distiller version 4
The following screen shots will help you set up your Adobe Distiller for the creation of a usable PDF file. If you are using an older version of Distiller, choose settings as closely as possible to the ones shown in the screenshots.
File naming
To avoid confusion, please make sure your file has a short, descriptive name. Short means less than 30 characters and descriptive means names like figure1.tif and smith-article-version1.doc.
For the production of your paper in the journal we need high-resolution graphic files in either TIFF or EPS. For information on how to prepare your artwork for electronic submission, see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
