Journal Guide

The International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos is widely regarded as the leading journal in the exciting field of chaos and nonlinear science. Represented by an international editorial board comprising eighty top researchers from a wide variety of disciplines, it is setting the standard in scientific and production quality. The journal has been highly acclaimed by the scientific community around the world, and has featured many important papers by leading researchers from various fields.The discipline of chaos has created a universal paradigm, a scientific parlance, and a mathematical tool for grappling with nonlinear 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, phenomena, modeling, complexity, and particularly bifurcation and chaos, thereby providing a focus and catalyst for the 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, chaos and complexity, as well as general nonlinear dynamics, fractals, cellular nonlinear networks of biological, economic, engineering, fluid dynamic, neural, physical, social, and other dynamical systems. This broad but focused coverage includes, but is not restricted to, those areas of expertise provided by the members of the editorial board, whose composition will evolve continuously in order to respond to emerging new areas and directions in nonlinear science and engineering. The philosophy and policy of this journal, as well as its commitment to readability and clarity, were articulated in an Editorial in the first issue (vol. 1, no. 1, 1991) and are posted on the website of the journal.

The work of publishing houses like Freund Publishing house ltd, an Israel publishing house, is quite complicated. The editor chooses from the "manuscripts" submitted to the publishing house, previously published works, works published in other languages, or command works, works that fit the editorial line of its collections. After any corrections, it shall communicate the text to a printer in suitable technical characteristics of the book and the number of copies to print.The editor takes the bulk of the financial risks of publishing. The profits go mainly to the broadcaster and distributor of books, which are responsible, to canvass the booksellers and take their orders as well as routing the books to bookstores, to fill orders taken. These operations cost the publisher between 50 and 60% of turnover generated by the book. The rest of sales goes to the author (about 10% share of this figure much lower, around 6% for comic books, and can reach 20% or more for best sellers) and the publisher, who can pay, in addition to its employees (editorial assistants, press officers, charged with manufacture, designer, etc..), the entire work of the book (printers, proofreaders, freelance photographers, possibly librarians, etc.. ). The publisher who coordinates the course of the "book chain" and, often, which also establishes the financial plan incorporating the expected costs and expected gains, as in any business.

Journal of Russian Laser Research is based on the best Russian research in the field of lasers. It is based on research selected for its timeliness and importance to this rapidly growing field.
