About the journal
Journal of Complex Networks publishes original articles and reviews with a significant contribution to the analysis and understanding of complex networks and its applications in diverse fields. Complex networks are loosely defined as networks with nontrivial topology and dynamics, which appear as the skeletons of complex systems in the real-world. The journal covers everything from the basic mathematical, physical and computational principles needed for studying complex networks to their applications leading to predictive models in molecular, biological, ecological, informational, engineering, social, technological and other systems.
It includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Mathematical and numerical analysis of networks
- Network theory and computer sciences
- Structural analysis of networks
- Dynamics on networks
- Physical models on networks
- Networks and epidemiology
- Social, socio-economic and political networks
- Ecological networks
- Technological and infrastructural networks
- Brain and tissue networks
- Biological and molecular networks
- Spatial networks
- Techno-social networks i.e. online social networks, social networking sites, social media
- Other applications of networks
- Evolving networks
- Multilayer networks
- Game theory on networks
- Biomedicine related networks
- Animal social networks
- Climate networks
- Cognitive, language and informational networks
Journal of Complex Networks is published online-only with six issues published a year, in the following months:

Instructions to Authors
Journal of Complex Networks will be published online-only from 2018 onwards. Authors will be able to continue to access their published articles and content via the Oxford Academic platform at https://academic.oup.com/comnet. All print editions will be discontinued. For the Journal of Complex Networks, manuscripts arrive at OUP and go through the production process until the final versions are ready to publish. These are then published into the current open issue online, as the journal publishes continuously by issue.
Submission of manuscripts
Manuscripts for the Journal of Complex Networks should be submitted online. Once you have prepared your manuscript according to the instructions below, please visit the online submission site.
Authors must submit either Latex source files or a Word file. Instructions for authors using Latex are provided below.
The Editors will correspond directly with the authors on the acceptability of their papers. Authors may not submit manuscripts that are under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Please note that the country of all co-authors is required when submitting a manuscript.
Submission of latex files
In preparing the paper, please use the standard article.cls file. When uploading the source file for submission onto ScholarOne Manuscripts, please ensure that all the macros used to write your manuscript accompany the manuscript. Please also upload a .pdf version of your manuscript.
Please follow all the usual instructions to authors as detailed below. However, text width should be set to 30 picas (126 mm) and the page depth to 46 picas (195 mm). It is very important to follow the correct referencing system - see point 3 in the instructions to authors. Class files.
Form of manuscript
Each page of the manuscript should be numbered. The front page should contain the article title, author's name and affiliation, and an abstract. The abstract should not exceed 300 words and should be intelligible to general readers without recourse to the main text. Authors should provide up to six keywords. Footnotes and a list of notation should be avoided.
For specific information regarding style, please refer to the journal style guide.
Articles should, in general, begin with an introduction which adequately covers the literature and scope of the paper. Each section in the paper should be numbered and each equation should be numbered sequentially. Each article should have a conclusion or discussion section. Any appendices should precede the Reference section. Equations should be typed wherever possible and punctuated to conform to their place in the syntax of the sentence. When appropriate, authors are expected to make available electronically by web reference data and algorithms referred to or used in articles.
References
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references. In the text, references should be numbered consecutively with citation numbers in square brackets, for example [1] or [2,5-7]. References should be listed at the end of the manuscript in numerical order. The normal form of listed reference is author's surname, initials, years of full publication, article title, journal name (abbreviated in accordance with the World List of Scientific Periodicals 4th Edition), volume number (underlined), inclusive page numbers.
Funding
Details of all funding sources for the work in question should be given in a separate section entitled 'Funding'. This should appear before the 'Acknowledgements' section.
The following rules should be followed:
The sentence should begin: ‘This work was supported by …’
The full official funding agency name should be given, i.e. ‘National Institutes of Health’, not ‘NIH’ (full RIN-approved list of UK funding agencies) Grant numbers should be given in brackets as follows: ‘[grant number xxxx]’
Multiple grant numbers should be separated by a comma as follows: ‘[grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]’
Agencies should be separated by a semi-colon (plus ‘and’ before the last funding agency)
Where individuals need to be specified for certain sources of funding the following text should be added after the relevant agency or grant number 'to [author initials]'.
An example is given here: ‘This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health [AA123456 to C.S., BB765432 to M.H.]; and the Alcohol & Education Research Council [hfygr667789].’
In order to meet your funding requirements authors are required to name their funding sources, or state if there are none, during the submission process. Further information on this process or to find out more about the CHORUS initiative.
Preparation of figures and tables
Figures must be submitted in the best possible quality and should allow for editing during the typesetting phase. Figures should be set within the document at their most appropriate location and not collected at the end of the document. Figure titles must be provided as text, must be separate from the figure object itself, and should immediately follow the figure. For figures produced using MS Excel, the "Chart Title" box should be empty. The use of "Gridlines" should be avoided. The use of a figure border and grey or coloured background areas should be avoided.
All figures submitted to the journal in colour will be published in colour online at no cost to the author. However, if you would like your figures in colour in the print version of the journal there will be a cost of £350 per colour figure. Colour figures must have a resolution of at least 300 dots per inch at their final size.
Tables should again be positioned within the document at their most appropriate location and not collected at the end of the document. A table title should immediately proceed the table. The use of vertical dividing lines in tables should be kept to a minimum.
For useful information on preparing your figures for publication, go to this page or our author resources page.
Availability of Data and Materials
Where ethically feasible, Journal of Complex Networks strongly encourages authors to make all data and software code on which the conclusions of the paper rely available to readers. We suggest that data be presented in the main manuscript or additional supporting files, or deposited in a public repository whenever possible. For information on general repositories for all data types, and a list of recommended repositories by subject area, please see Choosing where to archive your data.
Data Citation
Journal of Complex Networks supports the Force 11 Data Citation Principles and requires that all publicly available datasets be fully referenced in the reference list with an accession number or unique identifier such as a digital object identifier (DOI). Data citations should include the minimum information recommended by DataCite:
- [dataset]* Authors, Year, Title, Publisher (repository or archive name), Identifier
*The inclusion of the [dataset] tag at the beginning of the citation helps us to correctly identify and tag the citation. This tag will be removed from the citation published in the reference list.
ORCID
Journal of Complex Networks requires submitting authors to provide an ORCID iD at submission to the journal. More information on ORCID and the benefits of using an ORCID iD is available. If you do not already have an ORCID iD, you can register for free via the ORCID website.
Open access options
Journal of Complex Networks offers the option of publishing under either a standard licence or an open access licence. Please note that some funders require open access publication as a condition of funding. If you are unsure whether you are required to publish open access, please do clarify any such requirements with your funder or institution.
Should you wish to publish your article open access, you should select your choice of open access licence in our online system after your article has been accepted for publication. You will need to pay an open access charge to publish under an open access licence.
Details of the open access licences and open access charges.
OUP has a growing number of Read and Publish agreements with institutions and consortia which provide funding for open access publishing. This means authors from participating institutions can publish open access, and the institution may pay the charge. Find out if your institution is participating.
