ALT Meet the PLOS Complex Systems Section Editors

ALT Text over a blue and green swirling background. Text reads: Concepts in Complexity. Empowering analysis of complex systems by advancing overarching and transdisciplinary concepts such as self-organizing behavior, criticality, pattern formation, stochasticity, and optimization.

ALT Text on a swirling blue background. Text reads: Computational Complexity. Focuses on development and computational analysis. Research published in this section includes risk modeling, dynamic systems, ubiquitous computing, machine learning, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.

ALT Text over a swirling blue graphic. Text reads: Human Health. Examines complex systems that affect human health at an individual and population level, including aging, neuroscience and psychology, epidemiology, health systems and sensory science.

ALT Text over a swirling blue background. Text reads: Climate and Natural Hazards. This section will focus deepening understanding of our climate and the impacts of climate change through the lens of complex systems. Research published in this section also addresses natural hazards and the human impacts of changes in these systems.

ALT This graphic has text over a swirling blue background image. Text reads: Urban and Industrial Complexity. This section will investigate complex systems in man-made features or phenomenon. Research published in this section examines interactions related to systems of infrastructure, land use, or cyber-physical integration.

ALT Text over a swirling blue image. Text reads: Complex Systems in Nature. This section will focus on the complexity of living organisms and the ways in which they interact with their environments. Examples include evolution, terrestrial and marine ecosystems, and systems biology.

ALT White text box over a blue background. Text reads: Topics to be covered include but are not limited to: Chaotic systems, Climate dynamics, Collective systems, Complex systems, Complexity theory, Criticality, Dynamical systems, Economics, Game theory, Information spreading, Language, Networks and network theory, Network dynamics, Nonlinear systems, Pattern formation, Risk modeling, Social networks, Stochasticity, Systems biology, Urban systems

ALT Lime green quotation marks and lines frame the following text: I am thrilled to be part of the launch of PLOS Complex Systems, a significant step forward in understanding the intricacies of our world. This journal has the power to break down disciplinary boundaries and encourage researchers to approach problems holistically…I am excited to be on this journey as we uncover profound insights and drive innovation across multiple fields. Together, we have the opportunity to shape the future of complex systems research and make a lasting impact on scientific understanding and societal progress.
