Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications, IEICE (ISSN-L: 2185-4106)
Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications, IEICE (NOLTA) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing nonlinear science and its applications. Published quarterly by the IEICE, NOLTA brings together pioneering research across mathematics, physics, engineering, information science, and emerging interdisciplinary fields. Its broad scope—from chaos, complex networks, and nonlinear dynamics to machine learning, communications, and biological systems—encourages ideas that transcend conventional disciplinary boundaries. With an emphasis on originality, scientific quality, and rapid dissemination, NOLTA provides an internationally accessible platform where innovative theories, rigorous methodologies, and transformative applications can reach a global research community and inspire the next generation of nonlinear science. Currently, NOLTA has a journal impact factor of 0.6 (2025) and is indexed in Scopus and DOAJ. The publishing platform is provided by J-STAGE/JST.
