=The Australasian Journal of Combinatorics=

The website for the Australasian Journal of Combinatorics is http://ajc.maths.uq.edu.au/.

The Journal is published three times per year: in February, June and October. CMSA Members are entitled to a $10 discount per volume.

There is a search facility for past authors and for keywords in the titles of papers. Instructions to authors are also available at this website.

The contents of all volumes, 1 to 56, are listed at the above web page. We also now have free public access to the full papers in Volumes 1 to 44 inclusive. All but the last four years are available for free.

The CMSA Council recently confirmed that the production of paper copies of the journal will cease from 2014, so Volume 57 (October 2013) will be the last paper volume. From the start of 2014, the journal and all back issues will be available free online to all, with no costs involved for either authors or readers.

Recent blogs by Peter Cameron (Honorary Editor) http://cameroncounts.wordpress.com/tag/diamond/ and by Gordon Royle (Chief Managing/Production Editor) http://symomega.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/australasian-journal-of-combinatorics-goes-diamond/ have reported this change as a move to "diamond open access". As Peter says, "Send your best papers to diamond journals."

Submissions to the Australas. J. Combin. may be sent to ajc at maths.uq.edu.au. Only pdf files are required at submission stage. For submissions on paper, please check the journal's website.
