Combinatorics, Probability and Computing is a peer-reviewed scientific journal in mathematics published by Cambridge University Press. Its editor-in-chief is Béla Bollobás (DPMMS and University of Memphis).
History
The journal was established by Bollobás in 1992.{{citation |last=Babai |first=L. |title=Combinatorics, Paul Erdős is eighty, Vol. 2 (Keszthely, 1993) |volume=2 |pages=7–95 |year=1996 |series=Bolyai Soc. Math. Stud. |contribution=In and out of Hungary: Paul Erdős, his friends, and times |publisher=János Bolyai Math. Soc., Budapest |mr=1395855 |authorlink=László Babai}}. See in particular p. 21. Fields Medalist Timothy Gowers calls it "a personal favourite" among combinatorics journals and writes that it "maintains a high standard".{{citation |last=Gowers |first=Timothy |title=What's wrong with electronic journals? |date=January 29, 2012 |url=https://gowers.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/whats-wrong-with-electronic-journals/ |work=Gowers's Weblog: Mathematics related discussions |authorlink=Timothy Gowers |accessdate=2015-09-08}}.
Content
The journal covers combinatorics, probability theory, and theoretical computer science. Currently, it publishes six issues annually. As with other journals from the same publisher, it follows a hybrid green/gold open access policy, in which authors may either place copies of their papers in an institutional repository after a six-month embargo period, or pay an open access charge to make their papers free to read on the journal's website.{{official website}}
