About the Journal | Neutrosophic Optimization and Intelligent Systems

Journal Overview

Neutrosophic Optimization and Intelligent Systems (NOIS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access scholarly journal published by Sciences Force LLC, United States. The journal is dedicated to the dissemination of original research that advances mathematical foundations, optimization theory, uncertainty modeling, artificial intelligence, and intelligent computational systems.

NOIS provides a forum for researchers developing rigorous mathematical theories, innovative computational methods, and scientifically validated approaches to complex problems involving optimization, reasoning, learning, and decision-making.

The journal's scientific identity is built around three interconnected research areas: neutrosophic and uncertainty-related mathematical foundations, mathematical and computational optimization, and intelligent systems. It encourages meaningful interactions among these fields while maintaining clear standards for scientific relevance and methodological quality.

The journal considers theoretical, methodological, computational, and application-oriented studies that make a substantive contribution to its defined research areas. Interdisciplinary submissions are welcome when their central research questions and findings demonstrate a clear connection to the journal's scientific objectives.

NOIS serves an international community of mathematicians, operations researchers, computer scientists, artificial intelligence specialists, engineers, and researchers working on optimization, uncertainty representation, and intelligent decision-making.

The complete scientific coverage and boundaries of the journal are described in its Aims and Scope.

Journal History

Neutrosophic Optimization and Intelligent Systems was established in 2023, and its first volume was published in 2024.

The journal was founded to provide a dedicated scholarly publication venue for research connecting neutrosophic mathematical frameworks, optimization methods, and intelligent computational systems.

Its scientific focus encompasses both foundational research and the development and evaluation of computational methods, with particular interest in the mathematical representation of uncertainty, the analysis of optimization problems, and the design of intelligent approaches to complex decision-making tasks.

The journal maintains a publicly accessible archive of its published volumes, enabling readers and researchers to consult its publication record.

Publication Frequency and Volume Structure

NOIS follows a quarterly publication schedule, with four planned publication releases each calendar year.

During 2024–2026, the journal's quarterly publication releases were organized using sequentially numbered volumes.

Beginning in 2027, the journal is scheduled to adopt a conventional annual volume structure, with one volume per calendar year comprising four quarterly issues.

This change concerns the organization and numbering of the journal's publications and does not alter its scientific scope, publishing frequency, or editorial standards.

The journal's published volumes and their bibliographic details are available through its Archives.

Editorial Governance and Peer Review

NOIS operates under the scientific direction of its Editor-in-Chief, supported by the Co-Editor-in-Chief and an international Editorial Board with expertise in fields relevant to the journal's scope.

Editor-in-Chief: Huda E. Khalid

Co-Editor-in-Chief: Ramiz Sabbagh

The journal applies a double-anonymous peer-review model. Submitted manuscripts first undergo an editorial assessment of their relevance, scientific contribution, methodological suitability, and compliance with the journal's submission and ethical requirements.

Manuscripts that satisfy the initial screening requirements are evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with appropriate subject expertise.

Reviewers assess the validity of the methods, significance of the findings, originality and scholarly contribution where applicable, clarity of presentation, and adequacy of the evidence supporting the conclusions.

Editorial decisions are based on the scientific merits of the submitted work and the journal's published editorial standards.

The editorial assessment and peer-review procedures are intended to maintain scientific rigor, impartiality, confidentiality, and consistency throughout the publication process.

Information about the journal's editorial leadership and board membership is available on the Editorial Team page.

Types of Publications

NOIS considers original research articles, review articles, mini-reviews, perspectives, correspondence, and scientific comments within its stated scope.

Original research articles should present significant theoretical results, methodological developments, computational investigations, or well-supported empirical findings.

Review articles and mini-reviews should provide critical scientific synthesis rather than merely summarize previous publications.

Perspectives, correspondence, and comments should contribute substantive scholarly analysis, constructive scientific discussion, or clarification of important research questions.

All manuscript categories are subject to editorial assessment and the review requirements described in the journal's published policies.

Publication Language

The official publication language of NOIS is English.

Manuscripts must be written in clear, accurate, and scientifically appropriate English to support effective communication with an international readership.

Authors are responsible for the accuracy of technical terminology, mathematical notation, tables, figures, references, and the presentation of their findings.

Open Access and Copyright

NOIS provides immediate open access to its published scholarly content. Readers can access and download published articles without subscription or paywall restrictions.
