Journal Title：Random Structures & Algorithms

It is the aim of this journal to meet two main objectives: to cover the latest research on discrete random structures, and to present applications of such research to problems in combinatorics and computer science. The goal is to provide a natural home for a significant body of current research, and a useful forum for ideas on future studies in randomness.

Results concerning random graphs, hypergraphs, matroids, trees, mappings, permutations, matrices, sets and orders, as well as stochastic graph processes and networks are presented with particular emphasis on the use of probabilistic methods in combinatorics as developed by Paul Erd?s. The journal focuses on probabilistic algorithms, average case analysis of deterministic algorithms, and applications of probabilistic methods to cryptography, data structures, searching and sorting. The journal also devotes space to such areas of probability theory as percolation, random walks and combinatorial aspects of probability.

本期刊旨在實現兩個主要目標：涵蓋離散隨機結構的最新研究，并介紹此類研究在組合學和計算機科學問題中的應用。目標是為大量當前研究提供一個自然的家園，并為未來隨機性研究的想法提供一個有用的論壇。

介紹了有關隨機圖、超圖、擬陣、樹、映射、排列、矩陣、集合和順序以及隨機圖過程和網絡的結果，特別強調了 Paul Erd?s 開發的組合學中概率方法的使用。本期刊重點關注概率算法、確定性算法的平均案例分析以及概率方法在密碼學、數據結構、搜索和排序中的應用。本期刊還專門介紹了概率論的滲透、隨機游走和概率的組合方面等領域。

Random Structures & Algorithms創刊于1990年，由John Wiley and Sons Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋數學 - 計算機：軟件工程全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數0.9，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
