The International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos is widely regarded as a leading journal in the exciting fields of chaos theory and nonlinear science. Represented by an international editorial board comprising top researchers from a wide variety of disciplines, it is setting high standards in scientific and production quality. The journal has been reputedly acclaimed by the scientific community around the world, and has featured many important papers by leading researchers from various areas of applied sciences and engineering.
The discipline of chaos theory has created a universal paradigm, a scientific parlance, and a mathematical tool for grappling with complex dynamical phenomena. In every field of applied sciences (astronomy, atmospheric sciences, biology, chemistry, economics, geophysics, life and medical sciences, physics, social sciences, ecology, etc.) and engineering (aerospace, chemical, electronic, civil, computer, information, mechanical, software, telecommunication, etc.), the local and global manifestations of chaos and bifurcation have burst forth in an unprecedented universality, linking scientists heretofore unfamiliar with one another's fields, and offering an opportunity to reshape our grasp of reality.

The primary objective of this journal is to provide a single forum for this multidisciplinary discipline — a forum specifically designed for an interdisciplinary audience, a forum accessible and affordable to all. Real-world problems and applications will be emphasized. Our goal is to bring together, in one periodical, papers of the highest quality and greatest importance on every aspect of nonlinear dynamics, complexity, and particularly bifurcation and chaos, thereby providing a focus and catalyst for timely dissemination and cross-fertilization of new ideas, principles, methodologies and techniques across a broad interdisciplinary front.

The scope of this journal encompasses experimental, computational, and theoretical aspects of bifurcations and chaos, as well as closely-related subjects such as complexity, memristors, chaotic neural networks, nonlinear dynamics, complex network dynamics, chaotic time series, chaotic spreading, chaotic encryption, chaotic secure communications, chaotic signal detection, chaotic vibration, nonlinear mechanics, nonlinear spatiotemporal systems, pattern formation, nonlinear circuits, bio-system dynamics, system multi-stabilities, emergence, and AI techniques for any of the above, including their meaningful applications whose composition will evolve continuously to respond to emerging new areas and directions in modern science, engineering and technology.

To focus on the main-stream research with timely publications, this journal will not publish commentary articles, erratum notes, book reviews, conference proceedings and, in general, special issues.
