The Journal of Discrete Algorithms (JDA) aims to facilitate communication between researchers in theoretical computer science who are concerned with the design and analysis of discrete algorithms. The Journal of Discrete Algorithms welcomes original papers in all areas of finite and discrete algorithm design and analysis.

The purpose of this journal is to feature new algorithms and data structures, new analyses or comparisons of known algorithms, complexity studies and well-focussed review articles of currently-active subject areas. Articles in other areas of theoretical computer science will also be considered when there is a clear connection to computational issues.

The Journal of Discrete Algorithms is pledged to maintain high quality standards, an openness to all approaches to the subject, a transparent reviewing policy, and a minimal delay between submission and publication.
