混沌:一個跨學(xué)科的非線性科學(xué)雜志是一個同行評議的雜志，致力于增加對非線性現(xiàn)象的理解，并描述表現(xiàn)的方式可理解的研究人員從廣泛的學(xué)科。混沌歡迎提交關(guān)于非線性科學(xué)廣泛跨學(xué)科領(lǐng)域的各種主題的原稿，其中包括:古典確定性混沌量子與波混沌孤子和相干結(jié)構(gòu)模式形成與競爭自適應(yīng)和進(jìn)化系統(tǒng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)我們鼓勵作者提交關(guān)于這些和其他非線性現(xiàn)象的所有科學(xué)和工程學(xué)科的手稿。我們還鼓勵選擇一些關(guān)于非線性系統(tǒng)更數(shù)學(xué)方面的文章，只要這些文章對廣泛的非線性社區(qū)是可訪問的。就方法論而言，分析、計算和實驗研究都同樣受歡迎。《混亂》的編輯積極參與內(nèi)容的開發(fā)，并與AIP一起努力確保其可理解性、相關(guān)性和質(zhì)量。幾乎所有其他的混亂問題都是一個特殊的焦點問題。這些問題提供了對特定主題的重要介紹和概述，適合作為對非專業(yè)人員的介紹，但對該領(lǐng)域的專家也有價值。為了保證其他文章的及時發(fā)表，一個焦點問題的文章中，只有60%左右的文章是圍繞焦點話題的;其余的文章通常是關(guān)于非線性科學(xué)的其他領(lǐng)域。此外，每一篇混亂的文章前面都有一段針對非專業(yè)讀者的導(dǎo)語。這一段提供了一種工作背景的感覺，并傳達(dá)了主要的結(jié)果，在語言上，期刊的廣泛跨學(xué)科的觀眾可以訪問。

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.
