In order to get a better code rate, this study focuses on the construction of double skew cyclic codes over the ring \(\textrm{R}= \mathbb {F}_q+v\mathbb {F}_q\) with \(v^2=v\) , where q is a prime power. We investigate the generator polynomials, minimal spanning sets, generator matrices, and the dual codes over the ring \(\textrm{R}\) . As an implementation, the obtained results are illustrated with some suitable examples. Here, we introduce a construction for new generator matrices and thus achieve codes with improved parameters compared to those available in the existing literature. Finally, we tabulate our obtained codes over the ring \(\textrm{R}\) .
