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.This journal has an Open Archive. All published items, including research articles, have unrestricted access and will remain permanently free to read and download 48 months after publication. All papers in the Archive are subject to Elsevier's user license.

有限領(lǐng)域及其應用是一種同行評審的技術(shù)期刊，在有限領(lǐng)域理論和應用領(lǐng)域發(fā)表論文。由于在廣泛領(lǐng)域的應用，有限領(lǐng)域在數(shù)學的幾個領(lǐng)域越來越重要，包括線性和抽象代數(shù)、數(shù)論和代數(shù)幾何，以及計算機科學、統(tǒng)計學、信息論和工程學。對于內(nèi)聚性來說，由于如此多的應用依賴于有限域的各種理論性質(zhì)，因此有一個關(guān)于理論方面的高質(zhì)量論文的核心是至關(guān)重要的。此外，由于該領(lǐng)域的大部分活力來自計算問題，該雜志發(fā)表了關(guān)于有限域計算方面的論文，以及關(guān)于有限域相關(guān)方法的算法和復雜性的論文。該雜志還發(fā)表各種應用論文，包括但不限于代數(shù)編碼理論、密碼學、組合設(shè)計理論、偽隨機數(shù)生成和線性循環(huán)序列。還需要包括其他應用領(lǐng)域，但重要的是有限域在理論、應用或算法中扮演著重要的角色。有限的領(lǐng)域和他們的申請每年出版四次，并保持非常嚴格的評審標準，只接受那些收到優(yōu)秀的裁判報告的論文。這本雜志有一個開放的檔案。所有已發(fā)表的項目，包括研究論文，都可以無限制地訪問，并在發(fā)表48個月后永久免費閱讀和下載。存檔中的所有論文均受愛思唯爾用戶許可的約束。
