CHAOS

Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to increasing the understanding of nonlinear phenomena and describing the manifestations in a manner comprehensible to researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines. Chaos welcomes submission of original manuscripts on the full range of topics in the broadly interdisciplinary area of nonlinear science, which includes, among other topics:Classical deterministic chaosQuantum and wave chaosSolitons and coherent structuresPattern formation and competitionAdaptive and evolving systemsNetworksWe encourage authors to submit manuscripts on these and other nonlinear phenomena in all disciplines of science and engineering. We also encourage selected articles on the more mathematical aspects of nonlinear systems, provided that these are accessible to the broad nonlinear community. In terms of methodologies, analytic, computational, and experimental studies are all equally welcome.The editors of Chaos take an active role in developing the content and, together with AIP Publishing, seek to ensure its comprehensibility, relevance, and quality. Approximately every other issue of Chaos is a special Focus Issue. These issues provide a critical introduction and overview of a particular topic, suitable as an introduction to nonspecialists but also of value to experts in the area. To ensure timely publication of other articles, only about 60% of the articles in a Focus Issue are devoted to the focal topic; the remaining articles typically are about other areas of nonlinear science.In addition, each article in Chaos is preceded by a lead paragraph targeted at non-specialist readers. This paragraph provides a sense of the context of the work and conveys the primary results in language that is accessible to the journal's broad interdisciplinary audience.

混沌:一个跨学科的非线性科学杂志是一个同行评议的杂志，致力于增加对非线性现象的理解，并描述表现的方式可理解的研究人员从广泛的学科。混沌欢迎提交关于非线性科学广泛跨学科领域的各种主题的原稿，其中包括:古典确定性混沌量子与波混沌孤子和相干结构模式形成与竞争自适应和进化系统网络我们鼓励作者提交关于这些和其他非线性现象的所有科学和工程学科的手稿。我们还鼓励选择一些关于非线性系统更数学方面的文章，只要这些文章对广泛的非线性社区是可访问的。就方法论而言，分析、计算和实验研究都同样受欢迎。《混乱》的编辑积极参与内容的开发，并与AIP一起努力确保其可理解性、相关性和质量。几乎所有其他的混乱问题都是一个特殊的焦点问题。这些问题提供了对特定主题的重要介绍和概述，适合作为对非专业人员的介绍，但对该领域的专家也有价值。为了保证其他文章的及时发表，一个焦点问题的文章中，只有60%左右的文章是围绕焦点话题的;其余的文章通常是关于非线性科学的其他领域。此外，每一篇混乱的文章前面都有一段针对非专业读者的导语。这一段提供了一种工作背景的感觉，并传达了主要的结果，在语言上，期刊的广泛跨学科的观众可以访问。
