代數組合學雜志發表論文，其中組合學和代數互動在一個重要和有趣的方式。這種相互作用可能通過使用代數方法研究組合結構，或將組合方法應用于代數問題來實現。組合學可以是枚舉的，也可以涉及擬陣、波塞特、多邊形、代碼、設計或有限幾何。代數可以是群論，表示論，格論或者交換代數，舉幾個例子。這本雜志為這門學科提供了一個理想的資源，為組合學的研究人員，以及對組合結構有濃厚興趣的數學和計算機科學家提供了一個關于代數組合學的論文的單一論壇。

The Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics publishes papers in which combinatorics and algebra interact in a significant and interesting fashion. This interaction might occur through the study of combinatorial structures using algebraic methods, or the application of combinatorial methods to algebraic problems. The combinatorics might be enumerative, or involve matroids, posets, polytopes, codes, designs, or finite geometries. The algebra could be group theory, representation theory, lattice theory or commutative algebra, to mention just a few possibilities.This journal provides an ideal resource to the subject, providing a single forum for papers on algebraic combinatorics for researchers in combinatorics, and mathematical and computer scientists with a strong interest in combinatorial structure.
