Journals

Complex Systems. This journal was founded by Stephen Wolfram in 1987 to provide a publication forum for the new field of complex systems research. As the premier journal in the field, Complex Systems has had the privilege of publishing many of the most important papers in the field, contributing to the growth of complex systems research for more than a decade. Complex Systems has developed a uniquely broad base of readers and contributors from academia, industry, government, and the general public in 40 countries around the world. The topics of research covered by Complex Systems span a diverse array of fields including mathematics, physics, computer science, and biology.

Journal of Computational Physics thoroughly treats the computational aspects of physical problems, presenting techniques for the numerical solution of mathematical equations arising in all areas of physics. The journal seeks to emphasize methods that cross disciplinary boundaries.

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and Its Applications publishes research in the field of statistical mechanics and its applications. Statistical mechanics sets out to explain the behaviour of macroscopic systems by studying the statistical properties of their microscopic constituents. Applications of the techniques of statistical mechanics are widespread, and includ applications to physical systems such as solids, liquids and gases; applications to chemical and biological systems (colloids, interfaces, complex fluids, polymers and biopolymers, cell physics); and other interdisciplinary applications to for instance biological, economical and sociological systems. Specific subfields covered by the journal are: random systems; fluids, granular and soft matter; dynamical processes; fundamental and general methods; models; biological, ecological and evolutionary systems; econophysics; other interdisciplinary applications; other complex systems; networks; systems biology; classical and quantum information.

Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena publishes papers and review articles reporting experiments, techniques and ideas which advance the understanding of nonlinear phenomena in general. Contributions of this type in the recent literature have dealt with: wave motion in physical, chemical and biological systems; chaotic motion in models relevant to turbulence, physical and biological phenomena governed by nonlinear field equations; instability, bifurcation, pattern formation and cooperative phenomena.

Games and Economic Behavior facilitates cross-fertilization between theories and applications of game theoretic reasoning. It consistently attracts the best quality and most creative papers in interdisciplinary studies within the social, biological, and mathematical sciences. Most readers recognize it as the leading journal in game theory. Research areas include: game theory; economics; political science; biology; computer science; mathematics; psychology.
