However the Topical Issue also accepts high quality surveys and tutorials that integrate the existing literature and efficaciously put its results in context, aiming on integrating and adding understanding to the existing literature. The Topical Issue on String Processing and Combinatorial Algorithms intends 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.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><b class="">Guest Editor</b></div><div class="">Simone Faro, University of Catania, Italy</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><b class="">SN Computer Science now Indexed in Scopus</b></div><div class="">All the articles published in the topical issue will be indexed in Scopus. </div><div class="">For more information visit: <a href="https://www.springer.com/journal/42979/updates/20207044" class="">https://www.springer.com/journal/42979/updates/20207044</a></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Submission</b></div><div class="">Submission are open (with no deadline)</div><div class="">All submissions should follow the instructions available at <a href="https://www.springer.com/journal/42979/submission-guidelines" class="">https://www.springer.com/journal/42979/submission-guidelines</a> </div><div class="">Submission Link: <a href="https://www.editorialmanager.com/sncs/default.aspx" class="">https://www.editorialmanager.com/sncs/default.aspx</a></div><div class="">Submission process: At the time of article submission, please select the Topical Issue "String Processing and Combinatorial Algorithms”.
