About This Journal
Northeast Journal of Complex Systems (NEJCS) is a peer-reviewed, online open-access journal on complex systems, a highly interdisciplinary field of research on systems made of a large number of interacting components that can show emergent structures and behaviors across multiple domains. NEJCS strives to publish original research on complex systems in a timely, open-access manner, free of charge for everyone (i.e., the journal does not charge fees for publishing an article).
Articles are published on a rolling basis, i.e., accepted papers are published electronically as soon as their final versions are editorially approved and properly formatted. Articles published in NEJCS are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. The content published can therefore be downloaded and used only for non-commercial purposes, without modification in any way and only indicating the original source. All accepted papers are published free, open access, according to CC-BY-NC-ND license. NEJCS assigns DOI to each article and manifests zero tolerance for plagiarism.
NEJCS was created and is run by a community of complex systems researchers located primarily in the US Northeast region, as a viable alternative to the current trend of increasingly expensive open-access publishing venues. The journal is an official publication of the US Northeast Chapter of the Complex Systems Society, and is managed by the Binghamton Center of Complex Systems (CoCo) at Binghamton University, with help from the Open Repository @ Binghamton (ORB) at the Binghamton University Library. The journal contents are permanently archived by the Open Repository @ Binghamton (ORB), which is part of the Digital Commons NetworkTM.
