Abstract: This paper gives new methods of constructing {it symmetric self-dual codes} over a finite field GF(q) where q is a power of an odd prime. These methods are motivated by the well-known Pless symmetry codes and quadratic double circulant codes. Using these methods, we construct an amount of symmetric self-dual codes over GF(11), GF(19), and GF(23) of every length less than 42. We also find 153 {it new} self-dual codes up to equivalence: they are [32,16,12], [36,18,13], and [40,20,14] codes over GF(11), [36,18,14] and [40,20,15] codes over GF(19), and [32,16,12], [36,18,14], and [40,20,15] codes over GF(23). They all have new parameters with respect to self-dual codes. Consequently, we improve bounds on the highest minimum distance of self-dual codes, which have not been significantly updated for almost two decades.
