In this paper we construct infinite sequences of monic irreducible polynomials with coefficients in odd prime fields by means of a transformation introduced by Cohen in 1992. We make no assumptions on the coefficients of the first polynomial \(f_0\) of the sequence, which belongs to \(\mathbf{F}_p [x]\) , for some odd prime \(p\) , and has positive degree \(n\) . If \(p^{2n}-1 = 2^{e_1} \cdot m\) for some odd integer \(m\) and non-negative integer \(e_1\) , then, after an initial segment \(f_0, \dots , f_s\) with \(s \le e_1\) , the degree of the polynomial \(f_{i+1}\) is twice the degree of \(f_i\) for any \(i \ge s\) .
