The International Journal of System Dynamics Applications (IJSDA) publishes original scientific and quality research on the theory of and advances in dynamical systems with analyses of measure-theoretical and topological aspects. This interdisciplinary journal provides audiences with an extensive exploration of the perspectives and methods of system dynamics and system thinking, which are applied to systems in the fields of engineering, soft computing, economics, management, and medicine, among others. The journal also covers strongly related research areas including control, automation, soft-computing and systems. IJSDA publishes original articles, reviews, technical reports, patent alerts, and case studies on the latest innovative findings of new methodologies and techniques. The journal welcomes active participation and contribution by researchers, not only by submitting original works but also by making constructive suggestions for improving the journal. IJSDA appeals to academics, researchers, and professionals in the fields of engineering, modeling, and computer simulation, decision analysis, soft computing, control systems, biomedical modeling, dynamical systems, applied mathematics, statistics, natural sciences, policy analysis, management science, economics, and behavioural sciences.

The mission of the International Journal of System Dynamics Applications (IJSDA) is to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamic behavior of complex systems. The journal promotes the development of System Dynamics (SD) and the interchange of learning and research in related fields. Control systems coverage spotlights all aspects of control theory and related computational techniques and practical applications. Apart from conventional control, the journal publishes papers in the field of intelligent control and soft computing, particularly, intelligent systems, fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms/evolutionary computing, and probabilistic techniques. Detailed reviews of newly published books relevant to future studies in the field are also included. IJSDA serves as a highly useful reference for mathematicians, students, and researchers interested in the many facets of dynamical and control systems.

Article Processing Charge (APC):
Payment of the APC fee (directly to the publisher) by the author or a funding body is not required until AFTER the manuscript has gone through
the full double-blind peer review process and the Editor(s)-in-Chief at his/her/their full discretion has/have decided to accept the manuscript based
on the results of the double-blind peer review process.
Please note that IGI Global cannot schedule the article for publication or publish the article until payment has been received. It is also important to note that in scholarly publishing, utilizing an open access journal's resources and time with no intent to pay the open access Article Processing Charge (APC) if the article manuscript is accepted following the peer review process is considered to be unethical and exploitative.
What Does IGI Global's Open Access APC Cover?
In the traditional subscription-based model, the cost to the publisher to produce each article is covered by the revenue generated by journal subscriptions.
Under OA, all the articles are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license; therefore, the authors or funding body will pay a one-time
article processing charge (APC) to offset the costs of all of the activities associated with the publication of the article manuscript, including:
- Digital tools used to support the manuscript management and review process
- Typesetting, formatting and layout
- Online hosting
- Submission of the journal's content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes
- Third-party software (e.g. plagiarism checks)
- Editorial support which includes manuscript tracking, communications, submission guideline checks, and communications with authors and reviewers
- All promotional support and activities which include metadata distribution, press releases, promotional communications, web content, ads, fliers, brochures, postcards, etc. for the journal and its published contents
- The fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by
the authors
APC Subsidizing and Waivers
To assist researchers in covering the costs of the APC in OA publishing, there are various sources of OA funding.
Additionally, unlike many other publishers, IGI Global offers flexible subsidies, 100% Open Access APC waivers, discounts, and more.

IGI Global recognizes that many researchers may not know where to begin when searching for OA funding opportunities. IGI Global recently launched an
Open Access Funding Resources page for researchers to browse.
This page provides a comprehensive list of OA funding sources available for researchers to secure funds for their various OA publications.
This journal is currently actively seeking new submissions. Interested authors should ensure that their article manuscript adheres to the journal's
submission guidelines
and utilize the
journal article template,
which include originality of the manuscript, professional English language copy editing, APA formatting tips, and more. To submit an article for consideration, please begin the submission process below.
