contents We give iterative constructions for irreducible polynomials over F_q of degree nt^r for all nonnegative integers r, starting from irreducible polynomials of degree n. The iterative constructions correspond modulo fractional linear transformations to compositions with power functions x^t. The R-transform introduced by Cohen is recovered as a particular case corresponding to x^2, hence we obtain a generalization of Cohen's R-transform (t=2) to arbitrary degrees t bigger that two. Important properties like self-reciprocity and invariance of roots under certain automorphisms are deduced from invariance under multiplication by appropriate roots of unity. Extending to quadratic extensions of F_q we recover and generalize a recently obtained recursive construction of Panario, Reis and Wang.
